Default Riser Help

I need help deciding which riser to go with. Here is my problem;

I'm 6'2 and have a C&C solo on my Deluxe which puts me low and back. I am going with some beach bars that are 38 inches wide, 5 inch rise, and 13 inch pull back. I'm looking at Wild 1 1.5 inch risers but afraid that it will make me lean forward which I don't want. I was also thinking of getting the Wild 1 3.5 inch riser (straight) also as it may bring it a little closer to me with the angle (please correct me if I'm wrong on this).

I like the look of the 1.5 inch but as I ride it about 60+ miles a day I don't want to be uncomfortable. What I'm looking for is opinions from people who have gone through this and is smarter then I am about this set up.

Thanks for your help.
