I had a B-72 on that bike for some time, the B-17 is much better for me allowing more rotation of the hips and a better tuck for headwinds.
Being long adapted to the classic road racing fit the drop/reach pictured are quite moderate for me & didn't aggravate my bursitis.
I had to use a stupid looking stem to reduce drop on my Audax-ish winter/wet bike while recovering: You gotta do what you gotta do.
