After years of trying M-bars off and on without real success, I finally sold them. I was never totally comfortable on them, I think mostly due to the lack of a position like the tops of a drop bar. The best setup for me was quite high, on a bike with too short a top tube so they were very close. They made a bike that was too small somewhat ridable, in the way that albatross bars can make a too-long frame ridable. Still, I never found them to be preferable to a proper fit with a drop bar.
These days I'm running various flavors of short reach, shallow drop bars (3T Ergosum, SOMA Hwy 1, Salsa Cowbell) and find all of them preferable to the moustache.
