I have and have used both. I much prefer the Alba, mainly for the variety of hand positions and ability to grab the outer (top?) bends to climb or go aero. The Jitensha have just one hand position and my hands numbed out in about 45 minutes. I haven't used them in a year or so for that reason. I must admit, however, that they are nice looking bars.
