Handlebar - any recommendations?

Hi -

I am in search of "a good handlebar" for my x bike. The drop and the reach of my current one is kind of too much (140mm drop and 80mm reach). I am looking for a handlebar with a shorter reach and drop. I like the shape of Ritchy WCS Road Bar but it does not come with any smaller size... FSA Wing Pro comes with a shallow drop but its reach is the same as the current...

I can adjust the reach by changing the stem length but I do not want to change the stem at this point.

Any recommendations?

Salsa Short and Shallow and Salsa Poco feel a lot like the Ritchey, but with less reach and drop.

I have Short and Shallows on my Waterford X-12, and really like them.

Pocos have even less drop and reach.
