To go a size up would have hurt drop, etc. To go a size down would have meant even further back saddle and even longer reach stem. There isn't a lot of seat post because I have a longer torso, shorter legs as previously mentioned.

those two stems are the same length? that picture is EXTREMELY deceiving then. The smallish computer on the first one barely fits on that stem.
