Yeah, it was sizing. I went with a slightly shorter (90mm vs 100mm) stem with a bit more rise (10 degrees vs 6 degrees). More importantly, I went with different handlebars (Ritchey Pro) that bring the brifters in a little closer. My old bars (Nitto Randonneur) weren't very comfortable. I also wanted to change to the oversized clamp diameter because it's hard to find drops in the 25.4 size...
My old stem and handlebars are going on my other bike, so nothing wasted...
