I don't think that shape of those handlebars is conducive to the old (and arbitrary) rule of setting up the bottom of lever blade to line up with a straight edge from the bottom flat. The bar starts sloping down from the tops right away, which is meant to point the shifters up more. Getting the ergos lined up with a straight edge from the bottom flat would look and feel horrible on those bars.
