It does seem like seat post and stem length can vary the fit quite a bit.
Have you tried a longer stem? That helped me quite a bit when I got my new bike.
This 52 has a 52.5cm TT and I put 100m or 110mm stem on it, I don't remember which. My position is fine because as others have pointed out, it's easily adjustable with stem length. However balance is not as adjustable. Be that as it may, the bike is fine for me. I've done many long endurance rides on it in the course of 50,000 miles or so. I'm just commenting on the issue of reach as it's defined when considering bike sizing.
