Remember that proper leg extension is to the pedal at 6 O'clock. Not to the ground.
Also, if the seat is raised too high, you can have too much flex in the seat post area. And it's possible that it could cause damage to the seat tube. Sometimes a seatpost will have something on it that says not to raise it over a certain height (or to lower it too far).
