So, I am currently spec'ing my new bike, which is both fun & exciting and totally time and thought consuming.. Anyhow, I have decided that I want curvy (non-anatomic) handlebars and am trying to decide between the Modolo Venus and the Modolo X-boost. The x-boost seems to be a better shape for me -- the drop is a little more vertical whereas the Venus looks a little more horizontal. Has anyone ever seen both of these and can confirm this? As far as I'm concerned, the $15 price difference isn't important at this point. The other difference is that I could get the Venus in 38cm, which I think is the right size for me, but the X-boost would be 40cm. So, what is more important, a slightly better drop shape, or being the right width? You can see both here:

Any advice would be appreciated! My DH says I'm obsessing (which OK I probably am).. but I want to know which is more important for comfort..
