I currently run a PD ProSvet base bar with F35 armrest and T3 aero bars. I like the extensions alright but I've never been all that crazy about the armrests. I think something more like the Vuka might be nice since it's like a cup.

Has anybody used both? Vuka users, how do you like that cup feel?

I use the Vuka Alumina and find them pretty comfortable. I switched out the pads, however, for a set of Cee Gees and that made a big difference. Perhaps swapping out ther pads of your current setup would make them more comfortable? I got them here: https://www.ceegees.com

It's not the pad that bothers me, its the shape of the armrest. How do you like the shape of the vukas? Did adding the cee gees change the feel of the armrest shape?

Profile Design Ergo armrests will be available in a few more months (don't know exactly when for the USA) - they are a full curve and will fit straight on to your existing bar.

They fit me perfect - quite happy with them. Cee Gees changed the profile a little bit but nothing noticeable (for me anyways).

Any links to pictures of these? I've never heard of them and don't see them on the website
