All that really matters is the horizontal and vertical distances from your bottom bracket to the handlebars. (Measure center to center.) Measure that on your old bike, then figure out what stem will give you that handlebar location. (Assuming you set the seat also to the same location relative to the bottom bracket.)
Top tube length matters, but so does where the measuring starts. The seat tube/effective top tube intersection. This varies with seat tube angle. (1 degree roughly = 1 cm for a medium frame.) The measurements I suggested above don't lie and aren't subject to interpretation.

Now I'm on the fence. With the latest weekend LASTCHANCE20 Lynskey coupon code, doing an experimental add to cart - savings is $690.00. With no upgrades excepting for Ultegra - 20 percent off = $2,760.00 ( free shipping ). Normal price is $3,450.00.
coupon code includes: Industrial Mill Finish ($130 MSRP) + Titanium Head Badge ($100 MSRP) with your purchase along with a Special 20% Off coupon.
Four weeks and it'll be well into a different season and I don't know how many riding days I'll get in before cycling hibernation.
Decisions decisions.
