Try a drop like the Nitto noodle in a wide 48cm size. Use a shorter stem (shortest you can find). Use "cross" secondary levers.
The noodle bars are flat behind the hoods. The drops are shallow. If you get the really wide ones they are incredibly comfortable without compromising power or control. They aren't so wide that they are in the way trying to get through tight areas. If using a short stem, riding the hoods gives a comfortable, reasonable, slightly-aero position. Using the horizontal section you are upright. You still have shallow drops for a less aggressive aero position. You won't be sorry, these are by far the most comfortable bars with the greatest choice in riding style. On a bike you need lots of position options depending on speed, power, comfort, visibility, wind, etc. I've never seen any other bar come close to the 48cm noodle.
My sprung brooks is just slightly higher than my bars (before I plant my fat arse on it)
