I haven't really looked too hard at the Bitwell stuff. Most of it is 1" and doesn't accept internal wiring, but I'll take a look at their selection.
With T-Bars everything is parallel with the front forks. Just one big straight line from the grips to the axle. I don't like the way it looks without a fairing.
I like when the upright tube of the handlebars is more vertical and at angle to the risers.
The one set of T-bar like bars that caught my eye is these.

I can't find a picture of them a bike without a fairing.

Did you look at the one I posted? Kinda seems like what your after, it's 28" wide too. Only negatives I see is that it only comes in chrome and the price.

These also have a forward bend to them, and come in black.

For my eye it seems that the T-Bars start looking more awkward the taller they get. The thinness of the risers in comparison to the triple trees start looking like a giraffes neck a much above 10". I think that split bar like the FXD, or these from Living Life http://www.livinglifeinc.bigcartel.com/product/bmx-bars allow for more rise without the giraffe neck look.
I need to contact both companies and get some dimesions so that I can mock them up.

Edit: They also make them in a 10" rise. The pic below is the 12" in chrome.

And I know what you mean about the pogo stick look once they get too tall with out a fairing.
Those living life bars look nice but still no kind of adjustability. I think a 8" riser with a 4" tracker bar would prob work out ok, at least they would be some what adjustable.
