My bars look like your new fit except that they are a couple inches lower w/r to the saddle. I mostly use two hand positions on the hoods. In the classic position I hook my little finger behind the bars. Yes I do, and it's worked great for thousands of miles. It's safer and more secure. I started doing it many years ago, after looking at photos of Jonathan Vaughters' hand positions in an article on hand/bar safety. In the second position, I hook my two smallest fingers under the hood, middle finger on the brake, forefinger in front of the hood, thumb on top, and lay my wrists on the flat bar top. Your new position will make this position more comfortable. It's great for long stretches of flat. Your new position may want you to bend your elbows more than you are used to, possibly much more. This is good. Work on riding with your forearms horizontal.
