Mike, my experience with these bars relates pretty closely to yours.
I bought a pair of the same 520mm PNW bars a while back to modernize an older Specialized Tricross and they totally did the trick. Much better than the stock super narrow bars and the flares/drops were so much more comfy I think I spent enough extra time in the drops to offset the aero issues with the width.
Comfortable is fast, right?
