I have a Jones Plus bike and the bars work better on it. It is a more upright, less aero riding position, so less weight on the hands. I still would like a neutral
hand position, equivalent to the brake hoods position on drop bars.

I personally wouldn't switch from drops to Jones, you have to take the whole geometry of the bike into account, top tube length, stem rise, etc.

I really like the Jones, taken as a whole. I like my drop bar bike as well, they are just different beasts.
Jones bars (710s) work well on my ECR. Love my Cowchippers on the Troll.
