Mtb commuting stem length

Hello folks,

I bought a new 26 inch MTB, after a 700c hybrid. The thing is I bought one size bigger frame since I have long legs.( And you guys recommend bigger size for commuting and touring, don't you?) 6' height and 35" inseam. I am leaning too forward,my back is getting used to it but still pain on wrists.

The bike is a Cannondale Trail sl 4 with 110 mm stem(XL size), I am thinking of some 60 or even 40 mm stem.
What would you say? 50-70mm too much? And how could I know I am on the right size stem? It will feel awkward on testing before buy anyway. Any magic tricks?

Thanks in advance...
