Have not seen either, but assuming they are drag bars the biggest thing is to get the riser/pullback set up so you are not making a giant 'C' while riding. That will wear on you for long trips.

Your inseam should play much on the handlebar selection. The length of your arms should. My drag bars have integrated risers. While they look great you had better be right on selection. If you get them without the integrated risers, cost is minimized while replacing the risers until you get the right fit. Then just sell your old risers on ebay and you're not out too much money.

I had the same "C" problem. I'm 5' 8" and I think the train is made for someone more about 6' tall. I found these risers. They are the single best mod I've done to the bike. A 33 tooth final gear is the second (only for the 5 speed though).
Here is a link.
