The closer my bars are to my chin the better... Might be a little slower in the corners but way more leverage and control...

Some of the stupidly low bar heights seem like it equates to riding a scooter with the bars at your shins... I'd sooner fit into a bike than sit up on top of a pedistal...

the relationship of bb to bar height is more important than the static ground to bar height. as bb heights have dropped from 15"+ to sub 14", to maintain the same (balanced) foot to bar height, obviously bar heights had to drop. putting a flat bar low fork & low stack on something like a vp free is gonna be pretty front heavy / sketch when it gets steep & tech, but the same setup on an m6 might be just spiffy. its all relative. ie - i run a flat bar on my 13.5" bb bike, but a 3/4" riser on my 14.25" bike. anyways... to each his own.
