Surely thats down to set-up. My hoods position is'nt totally optimised, because I've prioritised the drops position. Also, the whole 'slam-that-stem' thing is also pointless if it just means riding the tops all day.
Another fun option is 'dirt drops'. Properly set up, they make your bike look shit. As you want the drops high. But man you can throw the bike around off-road.
I'd also consider using a 1cm or so shorter stem, comdined with a 1cm or so longer reach bar, for such a bike. As opposed to a road bike Gives you more varitation in ridig positions.
