I did spend a fair bit of time thinking about the fit, having owned several bikes the I same size, a bit a smaller and a bit bigger. Within typical parameters, i.e. the typical range of seat tube angles on the vast majority of road bikes of an equivalent size on the market, I've been able to get appropriate setback. 74.5 is perhaps pushing it but doable. I checked the head tube length and BB drop (related) and that the geometry was 'square', i.e. not a longer top tube. You can argue I should have checked the SA, but had no reason to think it would fall so drastically outside of what is typical as compared to every other similar model on the market.

^ yeah. Mainly the spending £900 without checking that the bike would fit you first.
