Yes, cheek is higher than your shoulder.
When one wants more of a straight comb... that is why the monte carlo style comb is used. It provides a relatively straight comb or at least one with a very slight drop. But still has the lower mount point for your shoulder.
Typically it is the drop at comb dimension that is more important than drop at heel since your cheek mounts closer to the comb than the heel. I usually like to shoot a 1.5" and 2.5" drop stock. Give or take 1/8" at times. But I have found even if the heel drop is 3", as long as the comb is still near 1.5" it still fits me ok.
The LOP comes into play a lot too in the equation.
