i tend to ride on nicer gravel, so i can get away with the exact same aggressive position as my road bike, same saddle height/setback + same saddle-to-bar reach/drop. with my allrounder's geo i ended up with a 12cm stem instead of my normal 13cm, having that slightly longer front center makes sense.

i think if you tend to ride on rougher/unimproved gravel, you might benefit from having a shorter/higher handlebar compared to a pure road position.
