Actually this is more than 2cm lower than I used to run it. It's all about my odd proportions. Short torso, long legs means I need it higher at the front than most TT riders. It already gives me a very tight hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke and if I go any lower it practically gets unrideable. I reckon where it is at the moment is about optimum in the power output/aero trade off.
Below is me at race effort with the bars in the old (higher) position. Probably not as high at the front as you thought, right? I've also sold the pointy hat as I tend to wriggle around at look down like this occasionally, so have bought a Casco Warp Competition as I think it will suit me better. Can't wait to get stuck in now.
