It truly does depend on where you have the shifters and brake levers. Using bar end brake levers and thumb shifters, I have a range of hand positions a Bosco could not give me. I have a full 300mm, about 12 inches of pure open usable bar to choose from, and I use it all in various situations .
If I *really* wanted a high Albatross , I'd get a VO or Nitto MTC-04 Tall(it's 280mm tall) threadless stem adapter and a threadless stem. Maybe some day .... but not today :) It's wonderful that we have these choices though, I yearn for more !
