Another angle: When I was discussing setting up my Clem with Rivendell, they suggested angling the bars down a bit. Oddly enough I had been thinking the same thing, so I tried it. It's very nice with these Albatross bars. It's worth a try if your are setting up an upright bar bike.

These bars have long since been taped up all the way to the stem. That's the way to go. I provides a few more positions for climbing and to get a bit more aero if needed. I still prefer drop bars for long rides, especially if stuck 20 miles from home with stiff headwind, but I always have a fun time on this bike.
