This means that this bike may be better suited for me correct?
Well, maybe it would be better suited in a 61 or so than a 59. Two centimeters doesn't sound like much, and maybe I'm not a good reference because I'm no spring chicken myself and therefore not greatly flexible, but it can make a difference in whether your bars end up in the right place for you.

You'll be able to fit it better to you by adding a longer stem if necessary. I don't think it'll be so far off that you couldn't. Eventually, you'll likely find that your bikes end up with the same cockpit length.
