I was using 160mm towards the end of this season, but they didn't get much use so the only thing I can say for certain is that it's easier to maintain a high cadence.
The particular cranks I was using had a beefy Q-factor though, so they're not going back on.
However I've tracked Mike Burrows down and he'll shorten a pair for £25, so I'm planning on getting some 7410 chopped to 145mm...

Just out of interest, has anyone tried droping their crank length?
I got a track bike earlier this year and consequently have to ride 165mm cranks on it and really like the feel of them. My road and TT bike have 172.5mm. I'm tempted to drop down to 170mm maybe even 165's on those too.
