My stem is a 120 with losco bars. I am not sure if those come back as far (or further) that the choco bars. I would bet they come back farther. I like to set up my bikes so that the far away positions are usable. In this case that is hands on the front of the bar which gives me something similar to rinding on the tops of a drop bar. The back position then puts me bolt upright. That way I have the most flexibility to how I ride. Setting up sweptback bars so that there is reach at the furthest back position makes all other positions useless for me.
