I'll try to answer the questions you asked. The bike is a medium according to Trek. It looks like that is about right for my height. (maybe on the borderline) Yes I found I needed the handlebar height where it is to get them closer to me. Previous to moving the bars closer I definately had to much weight on my hands. In the current position even when I lean into the power position, the weight on my hands is tolerable and nothing near to what I felt when the bars were lower. I am not moving in the saddle when I lean into the power position, more of a pelvis tilt I would say. I guess this tells me it it more of a natural thing to do. The saddle is about mid way on the clamp. The best I can tell the seat height is about right. I can put my heel on the down pedal easily with my leg locked. In my natural foot position my knee has about a 35 degree bend with the pedal at a 6:00 position.
I have tried many seat heights and tilts along with the bar height change to come to where I am. If I do anything now it will be in tiny increments. Thanks for your thoughts. Mike
