Torque measurements through the crank arm show us time and time again that power output drops off rapidly if the seat is too high, but only slightly if the seat is too low due to the hamstring’s relative contribution to the pedal stroke. It is usually better to be slightly too low than slightly too high."
To be honest I'm not a fan of Hogg as he has posted some ridiculous things on crank length.
Anyway, If the OP's saddle was too high I would expect to see a straight knee at the bottom of the stroke. I'm looking at the bend in his knee at the bottom and I want to see it straightened out a little.
I really think that the cranks are too long on this bike and sorting out any leg discrepancies is key here as well.
