Don't underestimate drop bars that are simply well-sized and positioned. I replaced the stock drops on my touring bike with properly sized ones, and I finally found a height I like. (Now to find a decent stem!)
How do you have barends on drop bars? (Or do you mean barend shifters?) I'm having a tough time picturing that.
Can we see a picture of your current setup?
