You're thinking about it the wrong way. Better to ask "what is the most comfortable handle bar setup, and what to I need to buy for that". Whats the point of changing bars if you dont change to the most comfortable configuration

So true! In fact how about adjusting your current bars, to see if they can be made more comfortable. You may be surprised how they change, when raising or lowering them a little in the clamps. Costs no more than a little time to try out.

^^^Yep^^^

Said it once & will say it x1,000,000,000 - don't base bar swap on cable length. Base it on comfort and do it right.
