Be careful, Reach is not independent of Stack. Latter affects how former is measured (similar to how STA affects ETT). This issue comes up regularly in regards to the Domane b/c of the big jumps in stack height between its sizes (due to longer head tube), making the reach differences look small on paper. Reminds me of this horrible thread: Long legs, short torso - Go go gadget legs
