So I felt like shit today and didn't do my planned route but I was able to determine that yes, I prefer both climbing and descending on the alu bike.
The difference in weight & stiffness is just psychological doping at my level of strength but it handles a lot better on inclined surfaces.
Stem is probably OK, and the drops feel fantastic. Plus the hoods are nice and narrow with just the right amount of flare. I love these bars.
I also bought a frame bag because... I wanted it, and my bar bag doesn't really work on this + I'm thinking I want to carry some lightweight sleeping kit rolled up on the bars this summer.
There wasn't a colour that would work on all my bikes so I utilized lateral thinking and got one that would work on none of them.
In this diagram it is being used to carry two bottles of sake, for which it is the perfect size.
You could also do this with wine bottles if you prefer.
