I'm going through a similar process. My Bombadil has a bullmoose bar setup, and I am piecing together the drop bar setup. I tried the dirt drop and it was too high and not enough horizontal reach for road riding. I then mapped out all my bikes on drafting paper using the frame drawing tutorial that Grant put out there. Based on where my Hillborne and my go-fast road bike positioned me, I selected the stem for the Bombadil and for my new Hilsen. I have the Hilsen set up and it is perfecto. As soon as I get my lugged quill stem back from the powdercoater, I'll be able to set up the Bomba in the touring configuration. If you were to plot out your Hilsen and the Bomba on top of it, that should give you some ideas about where you might want to be.
