Actually a major strike against drops for me is that there isn't enough reach in the flat position. I prefer the extension moustache bars allow in the hood position. I also needed the dirtdrop stem to get my bars high enough (b/c I maybe should've gotten a 66 instead of 64 frame), and I find the moustache/DD combo to be an ideal complementary pair.
Being a tall guy with very long arms complicates fit for me, and underscores the complexity of this discussion. It's not that drops suck, they just suck for me, and I'm much more able to find a comfortable, upright position with an option of tucked aero with the moustaches.
