You're right, it's subjective but it can be difficult to get a good fit with modern stis on traditional bars. The way the OP mounted them looks really impractical: no tops, not possible to ride on the hoods, lever is difficult to access from the drops and the levers almost hit the bars under braking.
Get a longer stem and compact bars (deda piega) -> better looks, more ergonomic and you'll get a proper position for modern shifters.
