Hi Mike,
   I'm going to ask to do one other measurement (or a series depending on how involved you get). Find a level spot for the bike. Use a plumb bob to find the point on the top tube that is vertical over the bb, and mark the side of the tube with a sharpie. Measure from there forward to the center of the headtube on each bike and write it down. Presuming you have identical saddles on all your bikes, place a drafting triangle on top of the top tube, at that mark and measure back to the nose of the saddle. See how this works out with the various bikes and check the stem length on each one vs, the forward reach of the frame. I'm hoping this gives you even more good information than what you have now.
