Fit wise the flat bars were too wide and made longer rides uncomfortable and my position was too upright for my liking.
The drops extended my position a bit and are now my width making the ride more comfortable.
Finally the steering was somewhat jerky with the flat handlebar, and once I changed to drops the steering feels much better, more stable and not jerky.
