Upon doing some light Wikipedia reading I do not want to install an internal headset. I just want to put in an integrated headset which isn't a cartridge type.
There is no primary reason for swapping the headset. I just would like more saddle-to-bar drop which is being limited by the extra length added to the headtube due to the cartridge headset. The fact that it'll make the angles slightly more aggressive is a nice bonus. I didn't have the money for a Histogram and don't particularly favour them.
integrated and internal are not the same.
There is no room in the headtube for the bearings.
You could get a track stem. Which would look cool, and lower the bars. You could also run a 20mm front tyre, and a 25mm rear. Sounds silly, but I like running a bigger rear on the road for traction, and the fact that it carries 65% ish of the bike+rider weight.
