Thanks again!
I'd move your saddle around a little. I don't know how you've set it up now although if all things were equal, then compared to the 175mm cranks I would have the seat 2.5mm higher with 172.5mm cranks and probably a couple of mm further back.
Also, you might be right. You may fell better with 175mm cranks yet given the cost involved in this change I would try some cheaper adjustments first.
