It's best to make sure the saddle position fit perfectly, then worry about the rest.
too far forward just put too much pressure on the handlebar, too far back can cause pain on your legs.
If there's one bike where the saddle felt like it's in a perfect position, measure the horizontal distance from saddle nose to bottom bracket, and replicate that on the other bike.
Then you can sort out the reach.
