I think that's a combination of 2 things - the mkIIs were designed in the world where shallow drops of that design were a twinkling in someone's imagination, they sit differently on conventional drops, the mkIIIs suit that type of bend better, but also and probably more relevantly, I'd say those are just a bit too high up on the bend - I'd drop them down ~10mm and if you want that tilted-up cockpit then achieve it by rotating the bars up in the stem. You don't really want the flat top of the Ergo to be higher than the flat forward part of the bars, personally I would have all that lined up level. Ultimately those bars and mkIIs are maybe just not a happy marriage 😬
