Yes, reach is long for me with 56 frame/110mm stem

I ride a 56 cannondale ss evo but plan to downsize my frame to a 54.
I'm 181cm tall with a 83cm inseam. bb to saddle is 73.5cm.
My current 56 frame has a 15.5cm headtube, where the 54 size has 14cm.
I only use the 25mm supersix conical spacer under my -12deg/110mm stem(115mm actual)
To be able to simulate the drop of a 54 frame by using the same conical spacer again, i lowered the stem 1.5cm and took some pictures.
What do you think about my downsize choice?
Note:Drop will be about same, and reach will be 1.5cm closer with a 54 frame, different from the pictured 56 frameset
When looking at the pictures, i also find out that, i have to lower my seatpost about 0.5cm(last picture)
it looks like you sit too high, but by more than 0,5 cm
can you verify the 73,5 bb axle to top of saddle (measured along the seat tube), it looks quite a bit more
i have a 54 with 2 cms less saddle height, but the saddle sits quite a bit closer to the top tube than yours
i am considering going to a 52
