DJ; if you getting this as an additional bike to yoru traditional shaped roadie, and you want to be in a more upright/comfortable position when riding, then perhaps you should consider a flat bar bike? This will give you the option of hyrdaulic levers straight away. Velocio's fancy mather has flat bars doesn't it? You can have something with more sweep too.
Non-drop bars will give you better control of handling off road and also if you ever end up fitting a heavy pannier load to it. Which I guess is not your style, but you never know right?
