"But only if I keep my aggressive riding position."

I agree, also. There is this view among many that the drops position is strained, but in reality it is the most comfortable. Exactly how far I can come forward is not going to look racy in my case, but it makes an enormous difference in comfort, and aero which is a big deal if you end up in head winds for days on end. Also, getting the full inflation in the lungs is like getting extra horse power for free. When I start on a tour I have my arms relatively braced, and my neck hurts. But after a day or two, my neck is fine, and I have bent arms a looser feel on the bike. Works for me.
