Another option would be to raise the drop bars much higher. This will allow a more comfortable use of the hoods and drops. Something like the ON-ONE Midge may work even better as it is wide with a shallow drop.
You can try out the moustache bars fairly cheaply by getting a Nashbar Moustache bar.

Since I have a Redline 925 with moustache bars, would you let me know what other hand positions you use rather than on the 'drops' ? I've tried going up top, but there's not enough of a straight portion for that to work out. The only other position I've found is to place my palms on the top corners of the bars and rest my fingers on the brake housings.
