Right so I've saved the money now, about to make the purchase...thinking M (56) Canyon with a 130mm aerobar.
Can anyone else please help quickly just so I don't mess up on the size?

Cycling inseam of 87cm, overall height of 183cm, long torso short legs. I feel like I could get a bit more saddle to bar drop to be honest but not much. The fit calculator is trying to put me on a L but I feel like I might not have enough standover height and/or seatpost showing.
Current saddle height from centre of BB is 78cm.
Can anyone much better at this please help?

I ordered my Aeroad with the 410/120mm aerobar, instead of the stock 410/100. Guess what, they shipped me the bike with the stock 410/100mm bar. I've been waiting to receive the correct bar for nearly 2 months now. So if you are getting your bike or frameset with the H11 aero cockpit, you have been warned.

Do they make the aerobar in 130mm?
I think you will be quite big on the M. If you can get low (-17 stem or swap out the 16mm headset cap for the 4.5mm) and have a long stem then probably ok.
In summary unless you are very flexible (can get low comfortably at the front) I think you would be better with an L
