I did the same. A warr. replacement frame was ~1.5 cm longer in the top tube. I dropped to a 90mm stem and ordered bars that were 8-9mm shorter in reach. I think it would have worked, but I found a deal on a better fitting bike.
+2 (or whatever) on not solving reach issues by moving the saddle forward.
