so its 3cm top tube shorter than your current bike, but you are much more hunched over to get down to the handlebars... so its a further reach essentially - hence why the top tube is shorter. - Usually used with pursuit bars or bullhorns to really strech out on.
I think the seat tube length is the important measurement (which looks to be correct for you) - the reach can be tinkered with, with different stems and bars.
in other words, i think it sounds about right.
