[RBW] Albatross bars ???

Hey! A quick question. I'm switching the drop bars on my Homer Hilsen to Albatross. Any advice on length adjustment on stem? Currently I have 90mm stem. My inference based on observations would dictate to get 110mm, a 20mm longer to retain handling comfort. Am I right? A little help here, please.
