Am I correct in my thinking below?

A 760mm wide bar with a 38mm rise will be similar in feel to a 740mm wide bar with a 25mm rise?

The rise will shorten the bike slightly, but the extra width will stretch it out again?

Or am I just overthinking things again?! :lol:

    Principle is right, whether it will feel the same is then a big leap, it would depend on your shoulder width for example.

    Add backsweep/upsweep angle and how far out from the clamp it starts into the equation as well!
