Mike is spot on. Bullhorns have one less hand position than drops with two brake levers and do not offer anything in addition. Drops are good for sprinting and also for riding into a headwind. If you're riding to Scandinavia then chances are you'll hit a headwind and those drops will come in handy. Just make sure that they aren't so low as to be practically useless. On my rivendellenger bike I have the tops of the bars a couple of cm below the saddle which means i can comfortably use the drops for quite a long time.
