The increase in reach on the new bike is due to the one piece cockpit, which will be 110mm regardless of which size I go with (I would prob do 100mm, but they're not available, so I either wait indefinitely or go with the 110mm). The one piece bar also has 10mm more reach than the Zipps I have on the Tarmac, so I've taken that into account.
If the 13mm and 22mm differences account for the 110mm integrated stem I would slap a cheap 120mm stem on your current bike and see how it feels. If it feels too long, I would go with the M. If it feels fine or better, then you have your answer, go with the L.
