What you're hearing is that none of us can say for sure without seeing you on the bike, due to diffs in bike sizing, bike customizing, and your own personal flexibility and preferences. In true BF form, however, I'll throw in my two cents:

I bet you're going to have a tough time finding a bike to fit you. The bike sizing fashion of many manufacturers today favors riders with short legs and long torsos. That means you end up with the seat too high relative to the handlebars. Trying to fix that with a larger size bike means you end up with the handlebars too far from the seat. Trying to fix that with a short stem sometimes works, but if it doesn't, then you're back on the smaller bike and trying stem extensions, which are ugly to say the least.

You're best bets might be to look at bikes designed with more upright geometry (handlebars basically level with the seat). You'll end up raising the seat more than they expect, which will get the handlebars back down where many of us like them, but not too far down - and the reach won't be bad since you're going with a smaller size to begin with. I don't know your price range, but the Bianchi C2C series or Specialized Roubaix series are good places to start if they fit your budget.
