I have owned a Jones bar - older Ti model - and I know a number of people on the current aluminum and carbon versions.
The Jones bars have 45° backsweep so they are really entirely different animals where the SQlab bars are more like regular bars with more sweep.
The Jones are very comfortable and would be my first choice for doing off road touring or bike packing for sure. I did not love them for technical mountain biking - hence switching back to 'normal' bars after riding them a while.
