Jay -- choose the stem that makes you at least as comfortable as you are on the Homer. I haven't compared the angles and tt lengths on Homer and Legolas, but if they are the same, and if the Homer is (1) very comfortable and (2) you want much the same riding position on the Legolas as on the Homer, then by all means use a 9. Change if not.
All my bikes have effective tts of about 57 cm. The 2 Rivs have 73* st angles, the Chauncey has a 72*. I use 8 cm stems on all, but I want a lower and longer reach on the Rivs (they are road bikes) and a slightly more upright position of the Matthews (dirt). Between the slightly slacker st angle and the slightly higher bar on the Matthews, and complicating the equation with a wider bar of the same shape (37-38 cm Maes Parallels on the Rivs, 42 on the Matthews), the net result is just right.
