I changed to those exact bars earlier this year from drops.
I like the extra positions it gives my hands, and I didn't have levers on the drops so this simulates those positions. I very rarely got on the bottom of the drops, and I find that with these I have much better leverage when climbing.
They come in a range of widths, so you could always get one of the narrow ones for clearance in traffic.
