There is nothing about a so-called WSD bar that brings the lever closer. It can't be any closer than the design of the lever itself allows it to be. If it ends up closer, it's just because of how low or high you happened to install the lever, and how you angled the bar itself (horizontal or angled). Before you buy a new bar, you should try to play around with a combination of bar angle and lever mounting. On a standard, maes type of curve, the lever is much easier to reach from the drops if it's not mounted too high (you want the tip of the lever in line with the bottom of the curve), and you don't want to angle that drop part too much. There are a lot of gimmicks out there that can make you spend money for nothing. I have relatively small hands myself, so I'm not just speculating about this.
