Watch how high you make the banner. If you get it too high, it will throw off viewing the gallery.
If you turn off the spacing above the banner, you can probably get a max of 70 pixels and still keep the gallery in perspective.
With it on, you may want to stick around 60 pixels.
I don't usually use the header links so the spacing is usually turned off. On the rare occasion I do use the header links, I hide the banner and bring one in using HTML above the header links.
