The LHT already comes with 40cm bars. Why pay more? If this is the first pair of drops you've ridden, why change?

In all likelihood, you need narrower bars anyway. Women tend to have narrower shoulders than men of similar size.

Buy the stock. If it seems too wide (pain in between the shoulders and up into neck) then go to an LBS and have someone measure you for bar width. Buy a pair of Salsa Poco or Short and Shallow, sell back the stock, and ride on!

(I'm riding 38cm bars, and I'm 5'8" with wide shoulders. Wide shoulders. It's hard to find women's shirts that fit.)
Ummmm...what I linked to are the bars he recommended
I am glad that I brought this here...
