I changed to the Surly Open Bar this year and like it, not quite a mustache but close. They are very comfy and forgiving (cromoly), I have only taken them on a credit card tour sou I am unsure how they would handle a touring load. I do grocery shop with them often and they are a bit flexy at low speeds. But in the bars defense I have a CETMA 7 rail up front, which means a high and heavy load and I always shop with my dog so top speed is around 7mph.
Mounting a bar bag is as easy as a second stem.
