Top tube length and stem length can play a big role in how the bike fits and feels right now as well. I agree on getting some miles in and getting used to the bike as it is. I personally like having the seat as far back as possible. I have trouble lifting the front tire over rocks and obstacles. So having the center of gravity further back to me is a plus. I'm not sure how the 29er geometry works with that.
