And sorry I overlooked your last question, I'm 6.05' with a pbh of 88.9
You're just going to have to get that notion out of your head, I had to. It is a good plan to have your touring bike fit as close as possible to your well fitting road bikes, they just arent going to look the same side-by-side.
I don't think a fork swap will guarantee a better fit than using a combination of or possibly just one of the following, an adjustable stem, extender, different handle bars or simply moving the brake levers up on the bars. An easy thing to try is to roate your bars upward... may work.
