I can't vouch for 70* vs 85*, but your head tube angle does add to the angle; even if that is not a part of listed stem angles.

I imagine you are going to pick up a 2cm or 3cm of height over your 60* (didn't calculate, just guessing). If that doesn't work, and you are able to talk to the bike mfg, they may be able to recommend a fork with a longer aluminum steerer tube that will extend further than your carbon steerer.
