Disregarding weight and possible handling issues, has anyone aero tested (Chung method or wind tunnel) and compared the two? To me it seems like it would be a tossup - significantly less bar material sticking out into the wind, but slightly messier aerodynamics under the outstretched arms in the aero position vs incredibly aero looking shape that sticks out into the wind 100% of the time. Thoughts?
This was a pretty cool thread:

One thing to consider - I never had a problem racing with the Scott 100k bars, but they did discourage me from training on my TT bike sometimes. I didn’t like dealing with traffic or some of the super steep climbs we have in town (19%) with the bars.
So, if you have a separate race bike, they make a nice bar, or if you train on the trainer all the time anyway. But otherwise you might consider the Ventus even if it is a tick slower.
I’ve had both and currently have the Ventus. They’re probably very close, but the Ventus is a lot easier to live with (so long as it fits you) IMO.
