Look thru your eyebrows and don't forget your readers.

edit: ....and YES, I can hold this position for miles, Max power to pedals is slightly more open with hands on the hoods.

If you can hold the position for miles, it strikes me it's a good fit. Your back looks reasonably close to level. One thing I find is that straightening my back takes some pressure off my neck, because it doesn't have to bend back as far. The problem then is that my thighs are hitting the bottom of my ribcage. It used to be they were hitting my gut, but I lost about 30#.
