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.
I think my plan will involve comparing the reach to my Toughroad GX with the drop bars installed. The overall reach on this bike is shorter than most other fat bikes of this size.
