With the blackbird, I find having the head end a good amount lower helps prevent any neck flex and positions your body best. Now, I am 6' so I have 2 less inches to deal with. I keep my feet right near the end of the insulation and it kind of wraps half way up your soles in the footbox. I can usually reach out on the shoulder side to feel the insulation stop around my neck or so. Inside the hammock, my arm can touch the head end while still half bent more or less. If I have to reach up to touch the top end than I'm usually too far south so to speak. While I love the wookie as far as weight and no fuss, sometimes you have to make sure your 'centered' on it just right. For your height, probably more so. All that being said, I would still make sure your TQ is sealed good around you.
Here's a recent pic that shows the foot to head differential that works for me. Usually it involves the foot end being closer to the tree rather than equal distance.
