I can understand that. I do 95% of my riding on the hoods on the hoods, but that other 5% can be important.
There was a time when I had a nice commuter with straight flat bars, but I found that even on a 10 mile commute my wrists didn't like that angle. The Postino bars feel more natural, but for sure I prefer drop bars for longer rides.
