Yes, definitely. Times have changed but one thing about shotgunning hasn't. If your comb is too high the only way you're going to hit a bird that isn't rising is to float it above the bead/muzzles. And, that is a recipe for poor shooting. 60/40, possibly 65/35 pattern placement is about as high as most people can shoot well, for various target/game presentations.
Personally, I can shoot a gun with a little too much drop better than I can one with too little. Burying your cheek hard on the comb, to get the gun to shoot lower, is distracting at best and often leads to a bruised cheek as well. It's much easier to cheek a comb lightly, on a gun with lots of drop, than it is to cheek one hard that has too little drop.
