Drops vs risers

Maybe back on track.....
I had straight bars on my road-mostly hybrid for commuting but after starting longer rides wanted more hand positions. My LBS recommended a trekking bar, which he adjusted so that the i still had the same position as before but with lots of additional bar space. I did end up flipping the bar upside down to get a better aero position. I'm a very happy biker now!

but in all seriousness, I tried flipping my stem for a positive 5 degree rise instead of negative, but I felt a bit scrunched up so I flipped it back to negative. I'm very comfortable this way and I think this is the best fit possible for me on a 56cm frame until I upgrade to a 58cm frame.
