Adam Hodges-Meyerson recommends 1 cm lower saddle height to help "float" over the saddle on rough surfaces:

Also 1 - 2 cm higher and closer for the handle bars, compared to your road bike.

Thanks!
I appreciate the words of wisdom. After fooling around with the fit yesterday (on the trainer), I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I went out today on a nice loop at a local park and everything seemed nicely dialed in. (My saddle is a bit lower than my road bike and I am a bit closer to the handlebars.)
Shouldering the bike didn't really hurt that much today, either, so perhaps I'm doing a better job with that. (This was only my second time out on the bike.)
After watching a VeloNews video online, I managed to teach myself how to dismount today. I must have been a sight as it took a couple attempts to actually get up the gumption to do it. Once I figured it out, I was dismounting all over the park.
Of course, now I need to take a look at videos on getting back ON the bike!
