What Bars?

I have been riding FSA Wing Pro Compacts for a while now and must admit I do get on with the shape of the bars etc. However recently I have been thinking that the bars I have at 44cm wide are in fact too wide for me and that I should maybe move to a 40cm or a 42cm wide bar.
I thought about just changing to a narrower FSA bar but looking new can only find them circa £60+ and then add to this that as per the FSA website these are going to be discontinued in black and are only available in glossy white for now which is not my bag.
So this got me thinking about what other bars are out there which have a similar shape, reach and drop, what else should I consider?
I don't want Carbon, apart from that I am looking for a stiff alu bar.
I quite like the look of the Fizik and 3T stuff, plus would also like my bars/stem/seatpost to match (biketart).
What would you recommend?

Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

Cinelli Dinamo could be worth a look. They are a compact bar and have a short reach and drop.
