OP,
You can try to bandaid your fit by changing compact bars but they don't vary much between manufactures. They vary more in shape but not reach. You are already on a short stem and you want a shorter reach. Each of us need to be on the right frame satisfying stack and reach for best comfort and performance.

OP,
You didn't specify what other factors you look for in a bar besides the reach; material, bend shape, drop measurement, winged-top or round. But just based on reach less than 80mm like most of the FSA models, you might look at the 3T Ergonova (77mm), the Specialized short and shallow models (75mm) and the Ritchey WCS Curve carbon or alloy models (73mm). I've got a spare Ergonova in the garage if you'd like to try one cheap.
I've literally spent over $2000 trying different carbon bars in the last two years, so I know how frustrating (and fun...and expensive) this search can be.
