Used them for two years now and still have mixed feeelings. I may take them off next year before the End to End, depends on how I get on with themthis winter.
You could have mine but I wouldn't sell them. I replaced the drops on my Galaxy with butterflys and it was the best improvement I have ever made to a bike. I got mine from http://www.oakwell-cycles.co.uk/multibar-butterfly-barpolished-silver-p-4516.html. They don't seem to have black but you could ask them.

Afraid mine are all gone now, but I used the BBB Multibar from Dotbike:-

Found them excellent and combined them with the BBB tubular foam grips and some Ergo style ones on the open section.
Only reason I changed was because you can only get the controls on the flat bar part. Yes you can wangle them round the angles but it doesn't work so well. I found that I was comfiest riding on the sides that meant every time I needed the controls I had to move my hands.
