All in the set up OP. One can set up an endurance drop bar bike with an upright position like that of a hybrid if that is your preference.

Biggest mistake many make without the fitness to support it is to set up a drop bar too low. An endurance bike can be set up to be more comfortable than a hybrid because of the option of getting the drop bar up high enough.
