It was from the 2022 batch of Atlantis frames, but the taller Stack on the Appa and the fact that I jumped from 650b to 700c wheel size made a pretty big difference.
I put a Brooks Flyer and some Tosco bars with a faceplater stem on the Atlantis to compensate but I always felt like I was sitting up too high/on top of the bike. By contrast the 56cm 2TT Sam rode like a dream, but every time I had to put a foot down it was too close for comfort with my short inseam. To be fair, when I called Riv before getting my Atlantis James said I was inbetween sizes and that an 54cm Appa would probably fit me best... Just took me eating the porridge that was too hot, then too cold first. Happy to DM you some photos of all 3 bikes if you want to see where my bars/saddle were on each frame!
