you have illustrated the problem of buying online when you have no idea of your ideal size/geometry.
once you know this a quick look at the geometry chart for that model will be all you need.
you could always go to a proper shop and get fitted but then you might end up paying more for the bike but obviously getting more in return.
if you find a shop with that model in the size you think you need then at best you will get a quick sit on it but if it's unbuilt that isn't going to happen. is it really that much of saving when for a bit more you can get fitted properly and probably get the stem swapped to your ideal length too.
