I've just now completed the albatross set-up on all three of my bikes. I couldn't be happier. When I first switched from drop bars to albatross, I noticed two things. First, it takes a little while to adjust/learn the new grip positions, and second, I needed to get the bars in the right place. The sweet spot for me is a little closer than some folks like them. In other words, I can basically use the same stem extension as I did for my noodles (which stretches me out pretty good). I also like them about level with the saddle, or slightly above.
When I set-up this way, my body feels like the weight is distributed comfortably and proportionately across pedals, saddle, and bars. My hands don't have a lot of weight on them, and I'm comfortable on multi-hour rides (admittedly with several stops). If you ride more aggressively, you might need a different balance between pedals, saddle, and bars. You probably already know all this, but just in case...
