A lot of the dimensions in that fitting pic were redundant for me because they’re the same as my present setup.

The fit was more of a second opinion, 52 vs 54cm T3, ideal stem length/angle, brain picking kind of get together.
On your current bike you have the seat post turned around, which accounts for about 5cm, plus the saddle slid all the way forward for another 8cm. Your fit has what appears to be normal set back, which is pretty much removing that 8+5=13cm of forward saddle position.

That has nothing to do with frame angles, which can only really account for 1cm of set back.

So I don't understand how going from a bike with a lot of forward saddle position, a 56cm TT and 9cm stem to one with a 54cm TT and normal set back isn't changing your reach to the handlebars by 10cm or so.
