Stick with the K-Sword bars. they are incredibly comfortable and the Predator/Praying Mantis look of them is pretty cool too. The only downside is locating the brake hoods where you want them can require a little filing if you want them higher on the bars.
It would also be cheaper to buy 2 cheap weyless stems from supergo to get the position right than buying 2 sets carbon handlebars. The K-Sword reach to both the tops and hoods is basically 1 cm further back than with tradtional bars (i.e. if you use a 12 cm stem with a regular bar you would use a 13 with the K-sword to get the same reach).
Several people have told me the ITM integrated K-sword stem is not that great. I use a Time monolink with mine, but the Deda Forza is probably a bit better if you don't use a torque wrench all the time since the max torque is quite a bit higher. As I recall either one makes a lighter combo than the ITM stem which is pretty heavy.
