(No dount many of your drimensions are different so this is probably an apples to watermellons comparison) I'm 6'2" use a 180mm crank. 6cm of set-back, but have 17cm saddle to handlebar drop.
If I used more set-back I'd have to lower my seat which closes the hip angle. To compensate I'd raise my bars to open the hip angle up again. This is what I'd do for endurance rides (like a double century)
I primarily ride for longer distances. While speed and aerodynamics are important, comfort trumps both. At 47yo, I find certain parts are not as flexible as they once were. Though I am way more limber than the average joe my age.
