How do you transition to a road bike?

I hate wind. I know getting a road bike with drops is the way to attack headwinds. The problem is that test riding road bikes feels weird. It's not my core as pilates this winter and long rides have firmed these up. The weirdness comes from moving my hands all the time to do braking and shifting. I also have wide shoulders so my arms aren't parallel up on the hoods but are angled in. Should I just buy an inexpensive road bike to get used to this or is there a better approach?
