A little higher than eye level since I tend to lean back in the sofa.Even more so for me as I don't watch TV bolt upright nor view nearly as closely as the diagram in your link. My butt is about 14' from the screen. Just eyeballing what we like best works out exactly to be the recommendation at the link found below - 65" center for a 65" screen. I don't, however, favor a high above the fireplace approach.
I guess it depends on your choice of expert. ;)
Enjoy your new space - we're definitely loving ours.
edit: Another link I found said that The Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers requires a viewing angle of less than 35 degrees to top of screen. I calculated a 17 degree angle given the distance.

The link you provided is for the company, "Dynamic Mounting". They make mounts that allow you to pull the TV down to a lower level. Have to be careful in reading their suggestions as some might be based on mounting height vs pull-down height, and how far forward the TV will come out to clear the fireplace.In any case, I installed a Dynamic Mount above our family room fireplace so we can pull the screen down to eye level when watching movies. For "regular TV" viewing like the news or whatnot we just leave it up high. Fireplaces are not ideal for TV mounting locations so the Dynamic Mount is a great solution.

Mine is well within the 35 degree max guideline. As I type this, I note that my 32" screen center is at eye level as your link recommends. A difference, however, is that I'm two feet away.
Here's an unrelated post where I find the mounting too low. Just looks peculiar.
Yup, the larger screens will be lower to the floor. And a larger screen can be blocked by the tower speakers.... another reason I'm going with 65" instead of something huge. We can probably accommodate a 75" screen but then I'll have to spread the speakers further apart and the one on the right will be closer to the right wall.I'll mess around with mounting height some more using the paper template once we have the sofa in the room.... or I'll grab a chair and run it down there.
