They do look neat, though, and I've got a pair of the old Nashbar mustaches just clanging around my basement if anybody wants them....
Pretty much my exact experience with them, as well. I was way too stretched out, even with an 80mm stem. And with the drop, I had to raise the stem much higher than I normally would to be comfortable. I could have flipped them over, but that caused the levers I was using to stick up at a weird angle. Finally gave up on them (actually so did my brother, so we have two M-bars not being used)
