I've done the same thing, although now all my seats are basically in the same place, 26" for convench and 22" for spinners.

I got all worked up last year trying to put together a balanced spinning rig and I'm not sure it can be done unless you use a reel that's too big or add a lot of extra weight to the rod. You can't really move the seat all that much before it's not where it should be.
