This is a spot on take. I have a CC, and I love it, yet I am constantly messing w the fit. It's not my main bike but it's a keeper--such a good project bike. In fact, I actually traded frame sizes with another guy at one point. I went from a 52 to a 50, and between the two bikes I have had drops, super straight MTB bars, swept-back alt bars, risers, different stems, you-name-it. The more upright I try and get myself on this bike, the more uncomfy I get. When I go w drops, or my low, flat bars and get my saddle back and seat up--basically, anything that stretches me out more---I find myself way more comfortable on this particular frame.

EDIT: you could look at the new Surly Corner Bars, they will give you more hand positions, but not any more height, and you can use your existing brakes, levers etc. I'm thinking of trying them myself for kicks (though they're kinda heavy): https://surlybikes.com/parts/corner_bar
