You will just adapt to a more forward position of the G1. I will not recommend to go for a smaller frame size, I am same height and just love the G1 in xl more and more. I have my second month now, and it gets more natural ride by ride. I admit it was just terrible in the beginning, and I needed to force myself forward with tilting the handlebar and the Ergon grips with the flanges forward. Now I am just used to it, and I cannot imagine something more natural position on the bike.
