I find the opposite -- too low and my knees feel the strain, too high and I can't generate power at because the leg is overextended. However, I'm finding that a tiny bit too high is more tolerable for me than a tiny bit too low, at least over longer distances (if short distance, just take more weight on the legs and less on the bum).
