OK, bike too big, 6 mile ride 2x per day. You have any drive side overall pics of the bike?
What stem you got? assuming 90-100mm, I'd swap it for a 50mm stem Nitto Technomic. If you don't want the Technomic really high you might need a tall headtube (what size is your frame?, or just post a pic). [Profile Boa has a 65mm stem that doesn't need as much free steerer.]
See if the bullhorns work for you with that stem (are the bullhorns 25.4mm or 26mm?). If you're still gripping the bars next to the stem all the time, swap it out for a flat bar. Gripping risers next to the stem is awkward.
How's your saddle fore/aft. check the knee over pedal spindle (KOPS) test to get in the neighborhood.
