Depending on how the headtube is attached to the rest of the frame, a long head tube can still result in a low handlebar height, so the headtube length measurement doesn't tell you a whole lot comparing different manufacturers unfortuneately. However most manufacturers geometry differ only slightly in each area (assuming similar category of frame) which contributes to its overall unique ride qualities, so while the headtube on the new frame may be 20mm longer, the actual difference may not be as large.
