Absolutely feel higher. And they are higher. Ceiling is only as higher as lowest point, so while 8ft in most spots, beams and some ducting at 82 inches. Drop ceiling would have had to come in under 80 inches, and would have felt like cave.
Lots of homes now have nice high ceiling in basement, so less concern than it was in our case, even though home is not that old.

I like this look but it wouldn’t work everywhere, how do you find the brightness during the winter?

Basement is walkout, so lots of windows probably helps not feel that way.
Would love to have seen your finished space!
