I know $100 is not expensive for a quality handlebar and, as Russ noted, it's a lot cheaper than trying drops with STIs and deciding you don't like it...but it's still quite a bit of money to drop on something just to try it out. The widest model is 540mm, which is much narrower than I tend to prefer. I guess the ergonomics of drop bars are different enough to where a 660-700mm width would be pretty awkward anyway.
