IMO, it's all about the hand position. I prefer the wrist position of drops over anything else. That decision made, I place them at a height and distance that's comfortable to me.
I don't understand people who say something like "the drops are too low"... all that means is THEIR drops are too low. This forum is particularly bad about this.
Does EVERYONE say that? seems to me half the posts in this thread have suggested raising them up a bit. In other words among those of us who actually USE drops the consensus is that it does you no good to have them so low as to be uncomfortable.
