The trend with gravel bikes seems to be longer (frame) reach and shorter stem, with wider, often splayed out drops.

Probably the best way to compare, assuming you have saddle height and setback correct on both bikes, and the saddles are of the same length (often 11"), is to measure the distance between the nose of the saddle and the inflection point on the hoods, and also the nose of the saddle and your most comfortable position on the drops, for each bike.
