Pro looks no worse than an Eclypse. The advantage of Pro Chrome/Eclypse/Grammo etc. over thick walled aluminium stems like Pearl/Cinelli 1A etc. is that they are much more tolerant of being spread open to pass the bars, both because the material is inherently more resilient and because the thin wall makes the amount of strain on the inner diameter smaller for any give amount of spread.
