Hi, Bisexcycle. Welcome to the forum.

A poll may not be the best way to get the kind of info that you are looking for...especially if you are looking for something that you will use personally. If you just ask, others will offer their opinions.

As I'm sure you know, a couple of centimeters changed on any of the bike components can make a huge difference in comfort and/or performance. In my experience, personally, coaching, and watching others, it really comes down to trying it out for a significant number of days/reps. And be keen to not give up on the idea because it's uncomfortable at first. That discomfort may simply be your body being "set in its ways". I've said in the past that it takes about 3 training sessions for one to feel natural using narrow bars.
