Probably depends who you talk to. Perfect world, I would have probably
preferred to ride the XL with a shorter stem. The L with a 50-60mm isn't too
far off what I'm used to riding, so no big deal. But it kind of misses the
boat a bit on the whole top tube length revolution. Longer than 60mm…I don't
know. I'm sure you can borrow a 70mm to try out from somewhere. If it works
for you, it works for you. I doubt you're going to ruin the bike adding 10mm
of stem length.
You could also try a wider bar. That will make it feel a bit roomier, plus
potentially some other benefits.
