I put them on my road bike after rejecting drops one last time. I very rarely ride the hoods, occasionally use the swept position to relax, mostly vary position along the hooks to change the angle of my wrists. I don't use bar ends. See https://www.instagram.com/p/CBO2uXtsqt9/
I very much agree with Patrick. They are comfortable but not so good for any kind of technical descent where you need your weight back but the levers are way out front. I don't think they look any better or worse than drops, just different. I agree with Bill that you wouldn't necessarily use the same stem as drops. If you're already set up with drops, lay the Albastache on top of the drops with the front of the hooks lined up with the comfortable grip spot on the hoods (plus or minus). Then measure the difference in extension you'll need for the stem.
