For tarmac use, try to keep it the same.
The fork might be a little longer to allow for bigger tyres and mudguards. The wheelbase will also be a little longer.
But if you take the reach and stack from a well fitted road bike. You wont need to take these things into account.
If you're riding trails on it. Then high drops, and a lowered saddle, are nice for control. Desending down steep muddy slopes is easier hanging off the back with your hands in the drops. I coud'nt do that with my road position.
