I don't think being lower necessarily gives you a better look at low pitches. As long as your head height is consistant, you'll have a good look at all pitches (providing you're not too low).

If you do end up too low, you'll start missing the lower part of the zone because you're not going to track the ball as well. I was told this a couple of years ago by some pretty good umpires, when I adjusted up a bit, the bottom of my zone got a lot better.
