I think your form is just fine. I also think you've got 365 in you, and a bunch more after that.
As an aside, you really need to get yourself a power rack. Not having a way to safely dump the bar on a missed rep is really going to hold you back. Have a look on craigslist i your area; used stuff comes up fairly cheap all the time.No brain, no gain.

With form like that there is absolutely no reason not to do low-bar. Your form is good, but you are sitting back a lot and you aren't making the most of it by using high-bar.
You'd probably adapt rather quickly since your form is already basically that of a PL squat.
No, bar position has very little to do with where the emphasis goes. You can still squat with a heavy quad emphasis with low-bar.
The OP squats with a style resembling a PL squat, and is already heavily using his glutes and hamstrings. The only thing that would change from switching to low-bar is that he would be stronger.Training, philosophy, nutrition and biomedical discussion (2.0): http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=146797403
