that surly is pretty close to what i've done as well. My bars are just plain 8" risers with a mad sweep, though. I'm literally sitting up straight. Nice to have the comfort for lallygagging and still be able to move pretty quickly if i'm in a hurry. It's a do all bike.
edit... i also threw 35mm tires on it with a smidge of tread for scooting across dirt and grass and such,
