IMO it should touch below the nipple line at least. If it touches too far up the chest, you'll have the natural tendancy to flair out your elbows, which is the worst thing you could do. When I bench albiet close grip of regular, I ensure that my elbows are tucked all the way into my sides and the bar pauses just below or right at my bottom pecs. I also try to have the bar travel in a "J"..Basically that means that from the bar resting on my lower chest area, as I press it back up, it gradually moves back towards my head. Just helps prevent injury, which is my number one goal.
