+1 on the Civia Emerson. Just got these, and like them. Basically a clone of some of the better known compact drops, but in silver instead of the usual black, and of course, in 26mm. Nice bends, very comfy. Not as nice looking as Nitto, but under bar wrap, so what.

BTW: I would not really recommend the Civia stem to go with it. Looks much nicer online than in person. For a simple silver stem in that price range, the Velo Orange is much nicer.
