Replacement handlebars

I am looking for 2 things from replacement handlebars,
1) Stronger
2) Higher.

I plan to use Renthal bars. The std bars are 22mm and don't want to mess about with different clamps etc so that narrows it down.
The Renthal product guide on B&C express has the dimensions http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/cgi-bi...=HB-DIMENSIONS

I have measured the standard bars as follows (not 100% accurate but close enough)
Width A= 784
Height B = 80
Rise C = 55
Clamp D = 200
Sweep E = 135

So I plan to go with Bar 613 (Dakar high) , as these are also 22mm would they be stronger than the standard bars?

Also any comments on the bend of these bars

Thanks
Scott
