On a DF full extension gives you a boost in power, and is favored by many triathletes. But it also stresses the muscles more, and results in the pelvis rocking side to side, which can be distressing to the seated parts. That's OK for a time-trialer, but will kill any passion for long distance riding. If you race, you go for any advantage to pick up speed, but riding for pleasure suggests a more moderate adjustment. Hence, reever's suggestion may be helpful for some, as you don't have to be adjusted to the extreme to take advantage of it.
