I hadn't tried compact bars until my current road bike which came with 44cm FSA compacts. I find them tremendously comfortable and the drops to be very usable.
@TheFinalHour: I think the Noodle bar is specifically designed to have a usable and flat top section behind the hoods when the drop section is set at a conventional angle. If you set the drops to be horizontal I think the top section would still slope less than a regular Maes-type drop. But yeah, if you don't like the look then you don't like the look. Personally I hate the look of ergo bars.
