I (personally) think it makes it a bit easier to get your knee in the right position, yeah. It may be more psychological than anything, though. You might find it makes it easier to move around on the seat too, the way I see my feet are like pivot points I guess, when I want to move left or right I actually lift rather than slide myself, this is easier for me with my toes on the pegs.
If you've got your lines OK already (since that's usually the first thing to get right) then try taking a few mph off your pace and working on your body positioning. Hopefully it will give you more time to think what you're doing and try out different body position...

It's also a hint that you're getting close to the edge of the tyre...

Yes, true - luckily I never did touch the pegs down (on this bike anyway
) - but I wouldn't fancy doing it with fixed pegs. However maybe fixed pegs, since they will be aftermarket, will be high enough that you can use the ends instead without worry.
