To be of any actual help if you post a photo of your bike then it would be easier to give advice. If you also provide your cycling inseam (different than your pants inseam) it would be easier to identify proper seat height and proper seat. Also need to see how your cockpit is set up, maybe your reaching to muchaybe you are not reaching far enough..
Asking about seats you'll get many different answers. Need to see your set up, your sit bone width, are you using a shimmy, body type because you may have a wide sit bone but have thinner legs or vice versa so that effects nose saddle width.

Thanks for the super informative post, I'll send you something via PM to not clog up this thread unless people are interested in my sizing. I am actually testing a new-to-me bike because a buddy is selling his 2016 Cannondale SuperX Rival and is letting me test it out before buying it. I think the sizing is right, but I definitely feel like I am reaching a little bit more. This new bike and my current one are both 54s.
Also, thanks for the seat height tip Fuzz, I lowered it by about half an inch tonight and didn't have the same issues during my spin.
