Yeah, I'm struggling to decide a size. My current bike fit on my more relaxed bike is 389 mm reach and 579 stack. I ride an 80mm stem on that, so should match the Vitus.
For the Vitus Energie VR an XS would be almost a perfect reach - 386 mm. However the stack is 531 mm, almost 50mm less than my current bike. I'm worried that's gonna leave me with a huge saddle to bar drop. If it were a racing bike I'd be fine with that (I have a stack of 508mm on my racing bike), but I worry that won't be comfortable for what I'm intending would be a relaxed, all day endurance kinda bike ...

I have an XL, I'm 6'2". Be careful with the sizing, the stack is very low for this kind of bike and the reach is very long, but that is to compensate for the short stem.
