Love the bike.
I've gone through so many handlebars over so many bikes.
My view is the upright shorter posture is the intended characteristic of swept bars like this and attempting to bring the reach back out to what you were used to with drops/hoods is seriously uncomfortable because of the moderate amount of sweep.
If you dislike the inefficient, slower feeling
But also don't want drops then I'd might try mustache bars. The handle a longer reach a little better and have multiple positions to move around on - many of which are in front of the stem clamp.
Just my opinion
