Ouzo Pro handlebars - any info/recommendations?

[Moosedryvr]

All,
I am looking for any info/experinces with Reynolds' Ouzo Pro bars, specifically the aluminum versions. I am currently using Ritchey WCS Anatomics and like the nice flat ramp to the brifters (STI), but cannot stand to spend any time in the drops with the anatomic bend. The Reynolds look like they are using a constant radius bend which could be a nice compromise (rounder drop section while maintaining the flat ramp on top). Any thoughts? Additional suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I have the Ouzo Race bars and really like the shape; the drops have a large radius and provide comfort just about anywhere you hold it. Though the radius is large, the bar's drop isn't too bad (guess in the 140 to 145mm range). Just to give you more persective, other bars I've used:
Ritchey Classic: drop's radius too small for comfort in hooks
Salsa Estrada: very likeable nonanatomic shape but no longer produced
3T Forgie: couldn't get comfortable with these.
Salsa Pro Road: anatomic shape pleasing to hands but too much drop for me.

The Ouzo Race stem is a nice piece too.

The bar/stem combo is pictured below.

Thanks for your awesome reply. Great to get to see pics of the product on a bike. Looks like my Hampsten will be wearing new bars soon.
