I have dimension flat top, shallow drop on a Surly Ogre and like them. The drops for me are not regular riding. I ride the hoods or the "corners" braced on the flats most often. Nice to have the options.
I'm a roads and paths rider not single track.
Finally adding a pic.
Oh and I started with a 100mm stem and have a 70mm on order now...I'm a big guy but the reach was still long to the hoods.
