The new one is 90mm with a 25° rise, which will bring the handlebar a bit closer and a little higher. If the seat is still uncomfortable, I'm changing the stem. If that doesn't work, I might give up and take up golf.
That new stem sounds like a good idea, and it sounds like you did well getting your butt "sized."
