i think the comfort factor really depends on the whole setup and your preference. for me i think i can almost use any kind of bar and set it up to feel comfortable on them.
they have quite a bit of drop and point quite far forwards so would be good if you prefer a low position (well, they're pursuit bars) or if your frame is short. i would team it up with a shorter stem since handling would feel sluggish with a long stem if u're holding it at the ends. but if you tend to grab on the "flat bit"/around the clamp sleeve of the bars then forget about these as there's not much to grab onto.
