You probably know this but those bars on that stem really change the fit of the bike. If you bought the flat bar version sized right that may be an issue. Toggle between the two pics to see how much longer the reach is riding the hoods or drops compared to the original flats. I would try riding around with the flat bars zip tied up so you can check that out before committing. I find a long reach ruins my balance in the saddle and I put too much pressure on my hands.
