I currently have albastache with 10cm dirtdrop stem on my soma san marcos and really like it. It took me awhile to get used to the weird aesthetic of dirtdrop stem but having the albastache bars up that high really does maximize comfort and the variety of hand positions. The rear grip area (near my bar end shifters) is very similar to using albaTROSS bars, and the forward area offers 2 different positions: in the loops which is similar to a straight bar, and on the hoods which is also pretty comfy. Adding stoker levers or Dia Compe knob grips near the stem can supposedly offer a 4th hand position but I haven't tried that
