Rarely is it worth the cost of conversion. You'd be much better off putting the money into a bike with geometry and components designed for drop bars.

If your frame was a special, one of a kind design or had some sentimental value I'd say go for it, but this doesn't appear to be the case.

Sell the Escape. Combine the money you get from the sale with the money you were gonna put into it and go buy a drop bar bike.
