best mirror for flat bars

I have a third eye bar end mirror (round, 3", convex, about 15 years old, the new ones look the same as far as I can tell) on my new flat bar bike. I loved it on my old drop bar bike, but on the flat handlebar it is less than perfect: it doesn't tilt toward the inside as far as I would like, so I need to lean a little toward the mirror to see directly behind me (as opposed to behind me and to the left which is what I see from my normal position). This takes some of the fun out of having a mirror.

Can anybody recommend a sturdy bar end mirror that can be aimed more usefully than the one I have now? I have seen the Mountain Mirricycle but am not crazy about the way it sticks up above the bars, not sure how that would work with bar ends.
