Am going to dissent. If the bars high up work for you, then keep them that way. My bikes are set up with drops way up there. Rather enjoy that position.
Maybe switching out bars to something different might actually work better for you. Usually wider bars seem to work, but maybe try a set of narrower bars? Am actually wondering if your hands are far enough apart to cause a bit too much leverage. For the record, I own a Hillborne and have ridden a Bleriot a few times. In fact, almost purchased one. But the bike I test rode felt, well, twitchy.
