'stich Roadcrafter & sporty bikes...

Need some opinions from 1100/1200S riders who are wearing one-piece Roadcrafters. Some background...

I currently wear a 42R one-piece Roadcrafter. It fits fine when riding standard-style bikes. But when a ride my Thruxton or even my previous Duc Monster its a bit short in the torso, seems to pull across the back and shoulders. I figure I'll have the same issue with my 1200S when I get it.

So my questions are;[list=1][*]Do the forward rotated shoulders & ellipses help in the 1100/1200S riding position?[*]Has anyone had experience with moving up one size, but in a short, to gain some room for a back protector & hard shell armor in RC? (As I said, my 42R fits about perfect, but wouldn't allow a back protector or hard armor).[/list=1]
I'm concerned that if a move to a 44S from a 42R I'll still be short in the torso, even with rotated shoulders & the ellipse.

(170lbs, 36" waist, 5'8"'ish, if anyone's the same size)
