Sorry, I don’t know enough about fits and proportions to be able to tell you whether you’re fit correctly using numbers. But those numbers all seem reasonable. I assume you’re in good health, decently mobile/flexible and fairly strong? If so, my opinion is that you shouldn’t need to run too little drop (though 1.5 to 2 inches doesn’t seem like too little to me) as long as you make an effort to keep your head fairly low. My neck hurts quite a bit too if I’m descending in a very aggressive position (negative torso angle) and trying to look forward by craning my neck (which is only necessary due to my poor eye protection).
