That sounds like a cracking choice. Enjoy, and ride the tyres off it!

Some discussion here about saddle height. I think it's accepted as normal that you need to scootch forward off the saddle before putting a foot down at a stop, and that the full leg extension will be 'heel on the pedal when it's fullest down and butt in the saddle' so you have a little knee bend in normal riding when each pedal is at the lowest.

So, it's normal not to be able to come to a stop without edging forward off the saddle before you try to put a foot down
