How about getting a bike fit with your current setup and seeing if an expert can help you find a position that will help you through this recovery period?
By 'comfy', do you mean a higher front end, or a shorter reach, or what? Narrower or wider bars? What positions are more or less comfortable?
If it's one of the former, you may be best served putting together a spreadsheet of the geometry figures and working out the stack & reach ratios for each, adding in the possible spacer height and considering bars, maybe narrower.
