Depends where you need the pads. I can still use the tops with the Zipp Vukas so will probably keep them (if I ever get this stupid bike).

Yes, other people have said that.
Maybe it might work if you're taller? For me, i'd actually like to have the pads lower than the tops to get my positions right on each.
I spent ages looking at weird options like butterfly bars or rotated drops, but gave up and settled for having the pads slammed down against the tops.

Yes, and yes.
Best option IMHO are ones which allow the pads to flip up to leave the tops accessible. I've got 3T Clip On aerobars on my TCR bike.

They are not spring-loaded, which I prefer. I've also got some older Profile ones on another bike, which are spring-loaded, so you have to push them down with your elbows each time.
