Proper saddle location fore/aft, height, tilt is the starting point, but have you found a comfortable location for your bars on your current bike?
You might want to find that sweet spot, either by steeper upright stem or steerer extender so you know where the bars on the new bike need to be. I'm not advocating it as a solution, but more upright is different for each person. Until you find that comfort location everything is just a guess.

Yea, that’s a really good idea that I honestly didn’t even think of. I think I’m going to go through that process this weekend to figure out what feels good. I’m also going to test ride some bikes at LBSs and just see what I like and use those as a guide as well.
