Try the seat a lot lower. My MTB seat is quite a bit lower (maybe an inch or two?) than my road bike seat. Feels to me like I have more leverage that way, which is important on the MTB. My LBS fit me to my MTB and set the seat that low and I've been liking it ever since.
I really like how road biking and mountain biking complement eachother. I think folks who love one that don't even try the other are missing out. I can't imagine having to give one of 'em up.
