I seem to remember that there was a fairly serious difference in top tube lengths between the M and L Giant Glory of a year or two back. The L's were comically long. Haven't looked at the new ones.
How tall are you anyhow?

I'm going to say that's a typo. Between M and L: same HA, same SA, +.6" HT, +1.6" WB, +3.1" ETT :S. Geometry by Escher?
turner dhr comes in an XL, they don't list TT, but reach and stack are 23.6 and 16.7 inches and the wheelbase is 48.5, longer than the trek, V10, etc.

A couple of others to consider:
Canfield Jedi (now made in XL)
FTW industries FB10 (I know Frank custom built at least a few of these, because I've got one - this one, actually.)
*bump though I'm not sure anyone cares anymore.
Transition has revised the TR series into the TR500, which is available in XL. Not just XL, but the definitive XL. It's similar in reach/stack to the XL V10C and Demo but has a longer wheelbase and can run 650b wheels.
The only thing that might be an issue is the tiny 420mm interrupted seat tube. If you're an XL person you won't be raising the seatpost ever again.
There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.
Well actually the Intense 951 EVO is pretty darn big too (and also 27.5).
ETT / Reach / Stack / Chainstay / Wheelbase
TR500
634/ 446 / 593 / 442 / 1237
951 EVO
622/ 457/ 584/ 444 / 1244

The tranny is a smidge taller (stack,) evo a bit longer. Obviously height is easier to alter, but a drop crown or tall bars/stem spacers will put the hand position further back.
I gotta say it's nice being an average height, even if I seem to be borderline between most companies' medium and large.
Gentlemen, you seem to be forgetting your heritage… XL Wilson now available in full carbon! 951evo ran a lil' short in reach for my 195cm…

There's something odd about the Wilson. I really wanted one but the XL felt cramped compared to the XL V10 for some reason. The numbers are very similar but it could be that the stack is higher and I think the saddle sits farther forward at the equivalent bb-saddle measurement. It was more like a big size Large than a true XL. The Demo is like this.
And here I was thinking maybe I was unreasonable for wanting a longer TT than what comes on an XL V10. Turns out shorter, more influential riders than me find it too short as well. So much so that Chris King got involved.

Gotta love Santa Cruz, they have not one, not two, but three tall elite sponsored riders and they STILL can't be bothered to produce a true XL or XXL. SC I am disappoint.
