If you think you want drops get a used bike to test the waters. It could be a costly conversion to find out your Fastroad isn't suitable for drops.
I recently converted a Giant roadbike that I've had since 2001 from drops to flat-bar and my 63yo back has thanked me every ride since.....

thanks speedway , lot of food for thought in the thread , but I'll tell you one thing regardless of what I decide, it's definitely saved me from buying something that's completely incomparable at the very least
