For commuting, I have a Marin Fairfax (hybrid). The stem was set to 60 degrees originally, now it is set to 10 degrees. By changing 1) the grips and 2) the position of the grips along with the stem adjustment, it really didn't change the comfort factor for me. In fact, now that I've ridden with it at 10 degrees, I think that it was too high to begin with.
