I love my lo pro. It's performed well touring, for 100+ mile days, hacking it around town and it's pretty to boot.
I'm inclined to agree with Scott, people have a misconception that the lower bars will make them really uncomfortable but once you've ridden one you realise that's not the case.
Admittedly I would never put risers on mine so it's always going to be lower in front than most peoples bikes as I use pursuits or drops (And yes I actually sue the bottom of the drops), but, I've never had a time when I've ridden it and wished the front end was higher. It also allows me to have my weight further over the front of the bike which is perfect for steep climbs.
