lo-pro's aren't as bad as people make out.
The hand position isn't that much lower than riding on the drops the whole time, which should be perfectly doable on your bike. Have a look at the height of the drops compared to the tyre of a low-pro vs a track bike.
Also what is important but missed is the seat tube angle, as it determines how much weight is placed on your hands, any bike with a very steep seat post is going to be uncomfortable because you body is balanced on your hands.
