Have the OEM C4 which is 95mm at 6º, according to Cannondale info.
the seat surface is 5.75" taller than the top of the handlebar stem.
When I was 35 I would set the top of the handlebar 4" below the top of the saddle. Now I'm 68 and have had some back injuries and I like the saddle no more than 2 inches above the bar top. I also use short reach shallow drop bars. I could have never used a bar drop of almost 6 inches, but I know some people can.
In your second photo it looks like the saddle is around 2" above the bar top.
Also, I know some people like the saddle pointing up but most of us run it level. Put your weight on your sit bones.
