I haven't ridden the Choco-Moose as it's a bit too wide for my tastes (and narrow shoulders). But I use a VO Porteur bar, which is (kind of) a narrower version. They share a similar forward position, which when wrapped, I find fantastic for climbing. They remind me of gripping the bar-ends on my old mountain bike. Also a great position for stretched-out cruising on the flats.
