Sort of along the same lines as Bicycle Bob, you could easily justify the price of one of those kits that measure your applied force to the pedals in real time.

One of the better one's has piezo sensor's mounted to the crank set and wirelessly transmits the data to a computer, which then calculates your pedaling wattage. With this setup, you would know exactly how aero efficient your riding posture is.

The systems I looked at (SRM) will take your breath away at $2000 though!!
