Default Fatboy lo new bar advice

I know its really up to me but I'd like to get some feedback from others that might have seen the in person. I'm going to change my handlebars and I have it narrowed down to 2. Tell me what you think and why.

1. Carlini Lowdown

2. Carlini street bar 1.5

I'm looking for the "look" I know the street bar would be a more comfortable ride.
What do you think looks best with the style of the bike?

A little wide for my tastes, maybe, but the 1.5 streetbar has real nice lines to it. I think it would look really good on my Lo.

Heres what I've come up with so far.

Lowdown - Awesome look , Different more custom look but is going to kill my back on long trips.

Street -- Awesome classic look, Better for long trips, Not as good handleing.

I think I'm going with the lowdown as of today---- They would both look great though . I change by the day though Damn choices
