I don't think you'll finde many stock sizes that live up to your criteria and have level top tubes.
Personally, I don't really mind a sloping top tube. Especially not if it gets you a bike that fits.
You aren't going to notice it while you ride either.
Re: the CXC, I don't know if you are aware, but it is built with track or track-like geometry with very steep angles, so might not make much of a mile muncher, if that's what you're going for.

Marin Four Corners might be another option

Or a Nicasio

Ahh, didn't know that about the CXC, will scrub that from the short list for now, thanks again.

You're welcome.
As you might be able to tell, I've spent some time researching fat tire bikes based on stack and reach measurements - I'm just happy it's of use to someone else.
I have a Vagabond myself but these days I prefer my Intec

Velo Orange Pass Hunter has a straight top tube but not quite your stack/reach.

How fat a tyre do you need?

There can't be many people out there who need 650mm stack but only 390mm reach - and with a straight top tube to boot. You might struggle.
