One way to assess if you'd like a longer stem is to move your brake levers and grips (or remove the grips for a while) forward to pretend the bar is further away and see if you prefer that. If your grips are glued it might mean destroying them and then getting a new set once you've decided, which if you go for a longer stem you'll have to do anyway...
