I don't know if there's much difference but it will look neater and is supposed to improve feel,

Can you measure whats on your bike at the moment. I'm guessing the 90mm or 100mm referes to the length of the straddle cable legs.

The "straddle hanger" sits about 15mm ahead of my seat tube, it could do with being a few mm wider because the cables rub the seat tube as they pass. Very light contact , but contact nonetheless. I have a 14 3/8 back end so i had to fit a shorter lever adjuster and take off the nut from the barrel adjuster on the other end to "buy" a little more inner wire length. Works well so far though.
