I'd have thought rack packs being lower actually an aero disadvantage because instead of being behind your arse, they're behind your legs/seatpost which means they would see more air.
I agree for taller riders but, for some of us, there's not a massive difference:
If I still had panniers I'd go and do some aero testing for you. :)
