Swept-back bars for XC bike?

I am looking for a set of reasonable quality bars for my new Epic. I have a shoulder condition which is not likely to be resolved any time soon, and the standard sweep bars seem to aggravate it. I could do with a couple of degrees more. Anyone any experience or preferences? Currently running standard Spesh bars. Would pay upto £60 or maybe more for the right lightweight bars.

Ritchey used to do some 17 degree sweep bars, which may be worth a look.0

Might be a bit weird,but tried these on a mate`s Scandal 29er and very confortable once you get used to them........

Those carnegies look quite funky. Will think about them, but am still open to new ideas.0

I'm currently using On-One Fleegle Pro bars & find them extremely comfortable.
They have a 15deg back sweep with about 20mm forward sweep. Only come in 25.4 diameter, but think they're going to do 31.8 soon.
I also like the look of the Ritchey 10D flat bars. They have 10deg back sweep with a small forward sweep.0
