Default BR bars question

OK,

I need some opinions everyone. I got my bars from BR last week and I must say that the quality is awesome and I am ready to get them installed but now I am confused. The bars in the pics below are actually bent the wrong way (forward instead of back to the seat). Everything else would be the same as far as the outward curve of the bend (side to side) if I have a new set made. I just don't know what to do. I like these bars but I wonder if the original way I wanted the bars bent would look better or worse than the ones BR sent.

I would appreciate all of you guys input.

I like them, I've been thinking about a set for mine too. I like the sweep forward look

I'm having mine built bent forward like that. Like others have said, mock them up & see if you like them.

I been putting off mocking them up because I am changing the risers as well. I don't want to tear it apart and have it in pieces for a long time since we are able to ride here but maybe I should. I like the bars and that's why I'm in a conundrum. I just don't know which style I would like better but they looked really good when held up to the bike.
