I am taller too...6'2" with long arms and legs. Getting any bike dialed in is a PITA. My road bikes are usually in the 64-65cm range, don't recall what my tt is, but I typically run 110mm stems about even with the saddle. Ride the bike that is the most comfortable for you, and don't be afraid to swap components to get what you need.
