If that nifty set-up you've created starts bugging you, you might want to look into a set of regular drop bars or albatross bars, which would also allow you to hold your hand in a shape that feels neutral and natural.
www.rivbike.com has albatross and moustache bars.
A lot of folks like the ergonomic drop bars like Salsa short and Shallow and Poco bars, too. Switching to drop bars could take a lot more work than going to albatross bars.
