I bought my first road bike about a year ago, and shortly after had a car accident resulting in a neck injury

I had an extended adjustable stem installed in order to provide a more upright position while I recovered

I have become quite comfortable in this position, but now wonder what am I missing by not "reaching" more (I am recovered enough to consider this)

Is there a mechanical or other advantage (besides wind resistance) to riding less upright ? If I were to lessen the angle should the saddle be refitted ?

Thanks for any help
