Haven't really caught up, but why the move from drops?

Basically, this frame is preposterously long, because XL mountain bike. I've had to accept that to get a comfy reach for touring, I'd have to use something like a 60mm stem with drops, and really my ulnar nerves don't like it that much anyway. I'm pretty comfy on my mountain bikes, and it should handle better as designed I guess.

Also apparently I get bored if any of my bikes stay the same for more than a year :/

Yeah same. I've got a similar set-up as yours (old MTB) and it was just too frikking long and low with drops. I actually also think I don't like bikes with drops at all.
