Fun activity, if you just take a measuring tape to your own frame and drop it down, you'll see the "top tube" length decrease. Good ole geometry!
This kinda proves that reach is even more important for fitment than top tube length (that I always used to go on), although honestly National/Worlds level track frames are in a different world of fitment than say, "my first road bike" where you can kinda guess rule of thumb.
(I've always wanted a Bridgestone to replace my Fuji, but I really don't want to be "that guy")
Edit: IIRC I remember you having issues with your Look, the Bridgestone size Large is basically almost the same measurements as the 496/L96 Medium, so I'm guessing it might not be the best choice.
