I would shorten the stem 10 to 20 mm. If you think you are stretched out a bit, then you are probably stretched out. You should have at least a 10 degree bend at the elbows. A new stem is usually not included in the fit or purchase but it never hurts to ask. Take it back and tell them your issues. They may come to the same conclusions with out prompting.
