I really like the 520, and I bought it for touring purposes, so maybe I'll just have to suck up the ride on the Dempster Highway. Quit complaining. I should remember that I am lucky to be able to go touring, and not have a job that I have to go to! Count my blessings. Thanks for the contributions guys!

Perhaps some butterfly/trekking bars for the MTB? That would give you a lot of good hand positions.
