J - I would go short with Albastaches, as well. They come back a bit more than the originals, but it's not as noticeable a difference as the width - maybe only a cm or two. They are more stretched out width-wise, which gives more leverage, and more hand positions. I use the 10cm Dirt Drop stem, and it works great. I would use a shorter technomic, but the real deal is to measure where you want to be based on where you will be holding on most of the time, and getting the right stem for your needed fit. I mostly hold on near where the bar starts the curve, but still on the swept back end. Great bars, BTW - I like them better than the Albatross due to the ability to stretch out and have a more natural angle when I'm in the "hooks" of the bar.
