I'm actually more comfortable down in my aerobars. I even stay down on them when I climb in most cases.
+1 to this - i haven't come out of aero to climb yet, and hope not to. i think i'd only come up if i need to rise out of the saddle, but my gearing is such that i shouldn't need to unless i'm going almost vertical!
if you plan to use the aero bars, i'd put them on ASAP so you can get your fit and comfort level dialled in. the body does need some time to adjust. if you prefer to go without, don't bother! :)
cheers!
