how to get the lower bitrates?

I listen mostly metal (various types - heavy, power, black, ...) and --alt-preset standard seems to create mostly bitrates of 200-250 (tested with several albums). I consider this to be too high, how should I create the files to get lower rates? Should I use ABR with --alt-preset [rate] or maybe some VBR command line (for example, edited -r3mix), using -V[n] to adjust the bitrates? Any suggestions?

Also by using the lowpass would it have any effect on the determination of bits in joint stereo and nspsytune? What about and the -V3 switch, would it have any effect on the determination of bits in joint stereo and nspsytune OR conflict with the internal switch of alt-preset?
