Correction: The bar higher and closer puts the ends of the much longer hoods at the same distance from saddle nose (as to the much shorter, Shimano aero non STI hoods on the other road bikes) but puts the flat of the bar close to the saddle, which, for the purpose I have for this bike, is exactly what I want: a closer-in, thus more upright, sit up and beg bar flat position on a bar that still allows the all-comfortable benchmark hoods position.
