Castelli Sizing help: Perfetto Light 2 SS (Large) vs Perfetto Long sleeve?

I have a castelli Perfetto Light 2 (short sleeve) in Large & it fits me well.
Close fitting, like a second skin but not too tight.
Awesome piece of kit.

I'm considering purchasing the Long Sleeve version but am not sure about the sizing. (I can only buy online where I live).

Has anybody tried or maybe owns both the Short Sleeve Perfetto Light,
& the Long Sleeve Perfetto (or the convertible)?

Would I need a L sized Long Sleeve version, or are they sized differently?
The convertible is also on my radar so anybody who is willing to share their experience is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance!

you might email their customer service dept.

but I'd guess, you'd be fine getting the same size you like now

They only refer you to their size chart, which is not helpful to what I'm asking.

Hmm, my guess will be that all Perfettos should have the same fit but this is just a guess.
I own the convertible one in size L and it fits me great with my 5' 11" and 165 lb: pretty tight but with enough space to put two wool base layers if necessary. I can probably fit M but it'll be really skin tight.
BTW, this is the greatest jacket I ever had with a very wide comfortable temperature range: from 32F (with two wool base layers and long sleeves attached) up to 55-60F (light base layer, short sleeves, partially unzipped). For me it covers all my riding from the middle of the autumn through whole winter and up to the first half of spring here in NY - I don't ride if temperature is below freezing.
