What made you choose these aerobars?  How comfortable do they keep you?

Profile Design Aerolite.

They telescope out and the elbow cups can be adjusted for width and tilt, so you can make all kinds of adjustments until you're perfectly comfortable.

Fit nicely in a budget, too.

Oval Concepts A701 because of adjustability. The manufacturer claims 1,209,600 individual, incremental adjustments, and although it's a stretch, these are truly adjustable in every manner possible for a truly custom fit. The elbow pads alone can be mounted in dozens of configurations and limitless angles.

Although they're aluminum, at 810 grams (without brake levers), they are only 25 grams heavier than their carbon comparator, the A901 (with integrated levers).

I like the fact that the extensions are mounted below the basebar, allowing me to get lower in front for a more aero front profile. 

The thing I like best is that I was able to snag these from a fellow BTer in new condition for around $100  WOOT!

The T2+ aerobars are horrible for your wrists. I've got them on my tri bike and can't wait to get a new set.

Love my PD Carbon Strykes for their adjustability.
