Reach is a little less sensitive, plus or minus 1cm, and bar height least important at plus or minus 2cm.
Where are you measuring saddle set back from on the saddle? A more normal figure as I understand it is for the tip of the saddle to be about 60-90mm behind the BB. I'm not sure where are measuring your 1cm behind KOPS from...unless you mean your kneecap. I'm asking about the saddle position - which is of course related to where your knees end up!
