Stem too short? Pics inside.

So... I bought a pretty short stem, and although it feels alright when I ride, I'm wondering if maybe a slightly longer stem would feel better.

I feel comfortable while riding. If anything, I think the wrists may be just in a slightly awkward position when I ride the tops of my RB021's, though I'm not sure if that's just normal awkwardness from just having switched from wide risers to a narrow pursuit bar, or maybe it's just how the shape of the RB021 allows you to hold it.

I'm following the KOPS rule of thumb so I think my saddle height and position are fine. Right? (see pics)

As I said, I feel comfortable enough when I ride but who knows if maybe with a few minor adjustments here and there, my riding position will be even more optimized.

Here's some pics (I apologize in advance for my paleness):

First, the bike itself, showing the stem:


and here's me riding the tops:


and here's me riding the horns:



BTW I look freakishily huge on my bike.
