I'm going to disagree with this. In my curve-bar days I tried M-bars and Noodles on the same stem, and found the reach to the curved portion of the Ms to "feel" further away than the hoods of the Noodles. I suspect this has something to do with the hands being placed in a different plane. Plus, I've often heard that people need to switch to a shorter stem when switching from drops to M-bars.
