Bike fit, Medium or Large?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If either stack, reach or TT is wrong, no matter if you pick the large or medium, ts the wrong bike not the wrong size.

Two rides so far with the 120mm stem and it's actually more comfortable. Maybe I've been riding cramped up this whole time and didn't even know it? But I've also ridden about 10,000 miles since my bike fit last year, so I'm sure my bike fitness has improved and I'm able to be comfortable a lil more stretched out. Still feels like I have room tho, elbows are still bent when I'm on the hoods.
