I had not thought of using a center punch...good idea. I usually use a sharpie and re-mark occasionally.
I don't change the saddle height with crank length (175 or 180mm) or shoe type. When I purchased the Rambouillet in 2003 I lucked into a bar reach and height that was very comfortable. All the other bikes now mimic this position (+/- 6mm)...some times that perfect position is elusive...and it changes as we age. I don't hesitate to change things, I just make sure I write down the position (saddle height, saddle setback from BB, reach to bars, height of bars above/below saddle) so I can go back if I need to.
