What is your saddle to bar drop on your Contend with the slammed stem? With all the spacers and the stem flipped up on a 56cm CAAD12, it will be approximately 2.5" (estimating based on your 35" inseam), which shouldn't be more than what you currently have on the Contend.
What’s your saddle height from BB-c to saddle top? Seems like you must like lower saddle height despite having a fairly standard inseam.
