Bikes: Bianchi 928 C2C (61cm)

I'm 6'-3" with a 38.5" cycling inseam (all legs and short torso), luckily my arms are fairly long. The challenge with my body proportions is finding a frame with a tall enough head tube since my saddle will be jacked way up no matter what the frame size. My frame geometry is:

seat tube angle = 72.5°
head tube angle = 72.5°
top tube virtual = 590mm
seat tube length = 580mm
head tube length = 210mm
stem length = 120mm, 80°/100° (currently flipped up)

My current setup yields the following dimensions:

BB to top of saddle = 857mm
tip of saddle to bars = 597mm
saddle to bar drop = 101mm

I'm fairly staisfied with my fit, but I'm still tweaking. I am currently max'd out at 25mm of spacers under my stem on a fork steerer tube cut to 280mm. I'd really like to try an uncut stem at 300mm which might give me the option of flipping the stem w/o having a 10 inch drop from saddle to bars.
