I'm 5'7" and ride a 130mm stem on a 52cm bike (short legs) and I have altered my fit many times to optimize ride comfort. I find that with a more aft position saddle, I hunch over more, causing more stress on my hands (as my colleagues above have mentioned above). For my body type, I find that a centered position saddle is optimal only if I have my back as flat as possible (working progress).
I would definitely recommend trying out different fits (stem purchase may be needed) until you find one of your liking. Good luck Side view pic of yourself goes a long way.
