Ive just changed bikes, and was concerned about the same thing. I'd had my old bike fitted to me by a bike whisperer. I have found that the key measurements are:

centre of crank>centre seat (st), then
centre seat>to centre of bar at the stem (tt)


I made this easy by using the exact same saddle, and took these measurements to the new bike. Had to change the stem. Ive done 3000 kms now and haven't had to touch the new bike since set up. So IMHO as long as you can achieve these measurements on each frame, you could be happy on either. By the way, if you planning on serious miles, thoroughly recommend having your new bike fitted to you.
