do you wear padded gloves? are your grips soft or hard? I was going to ask about bar ends, but persumably they would stretch you out even more.

Medium grip softness, I do wear mountain bike gloves.
When I'm riding and I put myself in my ideal position, I see that my hands are floating about 3-4inchs directly above my grips. Maybe a new handle bar that comes up exaggeratedly higher? Like a bmx would.
I ride a Scott Sportster 10 in Medium, as a 5'9 rider with slightly shorter than average legs (30in inseam on pants). It would have been great to fit it better off the bat, but I will need to tinker a bit.
