Thanks for your inputs everyone! Garth's response made me think I should tell this story with some pictures. Figured I should provide some context for each picture with some text. It took couple of days to reset my Flickr account that I had not used in a long while.
Here's the album for folks interested in details. https://flic.kr/s/aHskDNehhn Be sure to check descriptions of this pics. After some more experimenting, I moved the shifters all the way down close to the flat area. This setup seems to be better keeping them near brake levers. With this arrangement I rode 45 miles last Saturday (there's picture of that too). On the Atlantis I have trigger shifters on Boscos. The pictures show a small annoying problem with those. I do not like trigger shifters anyway, so they are not staying. These are all really tiny problems in reality. Tweaking my bikes is a hobby for me, so I go on! I did some cardboard experiment and found out that I'd need 13cm Tallux instead of the 10cm I'm using now. Or else the shifters will hit knees frequently. Likely I'll replace trigger shifters on the Atlantis with bar ends + 13cm Tallux. While in theory I have not found stem mounted shifters practical, this thread has convinced me that I have to give them a try!
