What are the two frames? Manufacturer, model, size? How far down your bars are will make a difference too.

You're measuring things which are not really relative even though they may seem so. For example, say I tried to make cake and it burned in the oven. I might tell you that I preheated the oven to 350 deg F, or that I used 3 eggs. But what would be most pertinent is if I told you I baked the cake for 5 hours instead of 20 minutes.

If you're sprinting out of the saddle everything is in relation to the bottom bracket, not where your saddle sits. You've given us zero information on crank/bb placement on your two bikes.

So, to get back to your original question, you need to either have pictures of the bikes (from the side) or describe, in text, pictures of the bikes. Appropriate descriptive things would include frame geometry (all of it, not just one or two dimensions, or you can post pictures of the bikes), stem height/angle/length (or a picture of the stem on the bike), saddle height and set back (or a picture of it), crank length, stuff like that.

As you can see pictures are a lot easier than text.

Right now we just know the cake is burnt. No one can give you any advice without you sharing relative information with us. Right now there's not that much relative information (okay, virtually none) so you're not going to get much help.

Also, although we're in the US, most bike fit stuff here is in metric units. Using metric measurements will encourage those thinking about posting any ideas. You want to encourage people to post answers, not discourage them.
