I know people have touched the subject of lowering seats I have lowered every bike seat that I have owned and either replaced with gel or closed cell foam it can make a difference of between 1-3 inches.
Just by removing the cover and giving the foam a sanding to remove the foam top coat (bottom of the mould) can make a seat feel much more comfy.. 8-)
Im 6 foot 2 and I know I'd rather be sitting 'in a bike' than on one if you know what I mean, you'll feel more part of the bike
