I purchased a set of the Ritchey Corralitos last year and I'm quite fond of them. The slight rise and sweep across the tops is incidental to me, but short and shallow works for me and I particularly like the outward flare of both the bends and the drops. In terms of how they feel to me, they're the closest thing I've found to the old Ragley Luxy bars, still my all-time favorite drop bar.
