With a dropped saddle height, that bike looks like it'll be more comfortable. Read up on bike geometry and general guidelines for fit. Get the set back of the saddle and saddle height is the most important. From there, it's basically how far out should the handlebars be and how low can they go where you are still stable. Unless you are super skinny and flexible, the drop won't be much.

Yeah...it is pretty comfortable right now. I can tell you after today that 35mph is a HELLUVA lot faster on a bike than in a car.
