I'd say give it try, before you cut the bars. And maybe tilt them up a bit to create a little bit of upwards sweep.
I have a set of 850 mm Stridsland bars, and they are so damn comfy, I wouldn't want them any narrower. And I am not excactly built like an orangutang.I think the added with also helps make up for the reduced reach when going from drops to flats.

yeah i hear ya! I am cutting the bars down to maybe like 720mm. I used to do a lot of long rides on this with the drop bar setup, I’m putting flats/risers on with shorter rides in mind, but who knows, if I start doing long multi day trips again maybe I’ll swap for some more appropriate ‘alt-bar’ or put some of those funky SQlab inner bar ends on here or something. We’ll see how we go. I’m mostly just doing this to get me excited to ride again.
