Pretty much what I was thinking as well. Even if it calls for a couple cms shorter stem to keep the reach similar, try lowering the bars a fair amount and see how it feels. Seems to me like that high stem is rotating everything back, which lightens up the front end and presumably makes it more sensitive to input...
