If faster is the goal, learn to ride with your chin close to the stem, a flat back (or nearly), narrow bars, knees that nearly touch the top tube every stroke and a smooth spin. Aero on your body is even better than a little improvement at the wheel or aero carbon bars.
Roll up on a vintage bike and ride like a pro -
'That's the ticket' !
