I have no idea which length is better for you but what I can say is that 20mm difference in reach makes a noticable difference.
Whether it will be enough is another matter.
The way I estimate how much shorter a stem should be is how far behind the hoods do I need to plant my hands to feel comfortable for long stretches of riding.
You can also experiment with rotating the bars upwards a little. It kind of messes with the ergonomics of the hoods/levers, but it gives you an idea of what the hand position feels like.
