Also bear in mind the landscape of the area you're moving to. Where abouts are you going to be living/riding? Gear ratios are an area to research, although it's pretty hard to understand properly without experimenting and seeing what people mean when they talk about how much your tooth count can transform your riding experience. Probably good to aim for a standard 48tooth chainset and you can swap cogs out pretty easily if you've got the right tools (chainwhip, lockring tool, chain link remover if you decide to change cog size by a considerable amount). There's a thread on ratios somewhere too

Rawed out my pre cursa applied some black decals, quite pleased with how it's turned out

Ah, I didn't realise Profile did narrow versions - I missed that detail in your post. Yea Nitto are a similar shape to the Dedas but with a bit more drop in them but no flat section either side of the stem (a feature of the Deda bars that makes them quite comfortable). I've seen a pair that were chopped at the end to make the rise at the bar-ends less extreme and they looked nice and compact. I'm sure most people would recommend them!

US site, but might be exactly what you're looking for

You're in the right place! First thing I'd do in your situation is to determine which size frame you're going to be looking for. It saves a lot of time when looking on the classifieds listings here as you'll know whether something's worth looking at or not as long as the seller lists the size of the frame they're advertising in the title.
You can also submit a post like you've just done in the Wanteds section instead https://www.lfgss.com/microcosms/550/?offset=31250
Oh and also, make sure you've got all the right tools. There's nothing worse than picking up a new part, taking it home with the aim to get it fitted nice and quickly, and then realising you don't have a crank extractor, bottom bracket tool, chain link extractor etc etc. Looking forward to seeing what you end up building!
