Well, I've just got 3 friendly li'l comments:
1) There's really only one way to satisfy your curiosity.
If you're so inclined, maybe you could borrow or rent
an upright bike for a little while, and just see
what it says.
2) Having options is good. Maybe sometimes you'd prefer
to ride the trike, and other times you might prefer
an upright.
3) Riding an upright doesn't have to be a painful experience.
In fact, it /shouldn't/ be (exceptional personal
physiological considerations notwithstanding.)
cheers,
Tom
