I've got the Mary's on my London MTB (On One Lurcher) and I think I prefer them over the straight bars on the Vitus. Though it's been a few months since I've been out on the Lurcher so it's hard to say. Though I'm enjoying the Vitus so much I'm considering swapping the Lurcher for one. Taking the Lurcher out in a week or so so will decide then!
After fiddling with the Vitus' brakes yesterday I got them to bite a hell of a lot better, but still not enough to be fully comfortable with just one finger. Though I've got some compressionless cables to fit which will make that much better I imagine. As a result I had the same hanging onto the bars with the thumbs like you were stating.
