I put GC2's on my 7.2 before I swapped out the bars.. now my 8yo has them on his MTB. They were a huge improvement for me before I opted for new bars (I have inverted Soma Sparrows on my fx now).. ultimately my problem with hand fatigue was related to wrist position, and something I couldn't really fix with flat bars.

When I ride my flat bar road bike (Jamis Coda) I generally keep my hands just like you describe. If your hands are getting sore it's likely that you are putting too much pressure on your hands. As you improve your core strength you should get better in supporting your upper body from your core rather than from your arms and hands. Give it time.
Are you wearing bike gloves?

I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
