It must make it more aero - you've got a frame that's, say, 700mm bottom to top versus one that's say 750mm bottom to top. With the taller one you then still have a stem on it but it's -17 or whatever to get rider back into position. The taller frame is always going to have a greater frontal area. I've never used a handlebar bag. I try and get most of my stuff on the frame or out the back rather than on the bars.
