No one can answer this question based on your post. What I will say is that in addition to increasing your drop, you have also increased your reach. Whether that's right or wrong, no way to say. Telepathic fitting services generally do not work very well.

As long as you are most comfortable your positioning is correct. Comfort however, does not mean sitting on the seat and having it feel good, it means hurting the least amount or staying comfortable through 30, 40, 50 + mile rides.
