Aren't compact road bars all pretty much equal?

I like FSA Omegas and was planning on using Spotterdrops™ in a wider width on another bike. Is there much difference in their shape?

I had FSA Omega bars and really liked them, apart from the width, which was 44cm measured from c-c of the bars at the ends of the drops, which effectively left me 41cm from c-c at the hoods because they flared out, but still a really lovely shape to hold.
Tried the Spotter bars, which did have a better width, but that was the only thing accurate about them, as the both the reach and drop measurements given were wrong at about 10mm extra to both.

You'd notice a difference between the Omegas and Spotter's, the latter have an odd curve on the drop that felt like a gap between the palm of my hand and the bar.

Insofar I find the 3T Ergosum and Salsa Cowbell to have a very comfortable drop.

IMO etc. etc.

Agree with Ed on the feel of the Spotter bars drop, I didn't like it much either.
But I have found the 3T Ergonovas to be great, 46cm c-c in the drops again, but 44.5cm on the hoods which are about the widest comfortable hoods I've found to date, and even though they are more money (£52 from WinstanleysBikes) they are so worth it.

... IMO
