I'd say 110mm is a good guess. Maybe even 120mm. I find that as you go more upright, that's kind of rolling your weight back onto the rear wheel of the bike, so sliding the saddle a bit forward at the same time might be something you decide to experiment with. Not everyone feels this way. Many feel that your fore-aft saddle position depends only on where your tuckus and your feet are, and then the stem/bar setup follows.
I also find that with upright setups, "fit" is MUCH MUCH less sensitive to a centimeter here and a centimeter there. Lots of people report that 5mm made a night and day difference with their drop bar setup, and I think that makes sense when you are looking for the edge of comfort vs performance. With uprights, 5-10mm is somewhat less likely to make a night and day difference.
