Thank you all for your suggestions. There's nothing more irritating than someone asking for advice who doesn't know what he wants, so this is my last pestering.
Truman, let me ask you something. If you could superimpose an image of drop bars over your moustache bars, wouldn't the brake levers be the same distance in both cases?
The cross levers are definitely appealing, BrianJ. But 1) do they leave room for a headlight, and 2) how the hell do they work? Do I have to splice through my regular brake levers?
And finally, horns, with the road levers mounted upside-down and facing backwards; do you feel as if you're riding high enough?

You know, Nashbar has Moustache bars on sale right now for $15. I should just get these and stop buggin people. I imagine the price reflects the absolutely hideous bar tape they used for the catalogue picture. Could these be uglier? But I read on Sheldon Brown that handlebars require a longer stem...
