My saddle to bar drop was about 2.5 inches before I lowered my bars about an inch, maybe a little less after reading this thread. On top of the bars and hoods I felt more comfortable for about an hour and it was almost impossible to get in my drops because I was not sitting on a very comfy area. That wasn't good and before that I was sitting on my sit bones. I felt awkward and very tired after a while for some reason. Maybe my 2 1/2 inch drop was good enough to begin with as nothing really bothered me. Don't know. I really feel most comfy sitting on my sit bones and anything beyond that is unacceptable. I returned my setup as it used to be.
As mentioned before, I have a "bull style" back and I'm not very flexible by nature. More drop could be better for some, and as we all have different body types, it's not gonna work for everyone.
