Drop bar cargo bike

Thinking about a drop bar conversion to my Bike Friday Haul-a-Day. I have yet to meet a flat/mtb bar that I like for any kind of distance. The truly flat ones hurt my wrist and make me feel like my elbows are always splayed, swept bars (like the Soma Clarence I have now) don’t sit well in the hand, and cause me to hunch my shoulders.

The Haul-a-Day is flexible enough on the geometry that the reach won’t be an issue. Any other reason I shouldn’t do this? Seems like a no-brainer from an ergonomics perspective. Already converted my Pugsley to drops and it’s been great.
