Don't worry about taking an inch or so off the seatpost. I've had to do it a couple of times - small frame and long seatpost means fouling on the top boss for the bottle mount.
However, I know the correct saddle position can feel like you are perched very high, but you'll quickly get used to sliding off the saddle as you come to a stop. It's better for your riding comfort to have the saddle at the right height.
