Would anyone with a street bike be so kind to measure the effective stack for me?

Effective stack = vertical distance hands to feet, or in other words: bar end height - BB height

I get values of 680 to 750 mm filling in the manufacturers' missing values, but that's a bit vague. 
https://madscientistmtb.com/bike-geometry-compare/ says approximately 735 mm for a Hex Team. 
Unfortunately, I can't get my hands on a bike where I live.

Thanks in advance, and I will post several cat pictures as compensation.

Surely ‘effective stack’ is meaningless to compare bikes as so many factors can change the measurement (bar geo, stem geometry, stacker quantity / height, fork length, and lots of others that could technically change it).

I could get a fourplay to have a similar effective stack as a raleigh burner if I put the correct components on it 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is why stack is taken from centre top of head tube, as less factors have an impact

 

edit: to be slightly helpful, I will try and get you my bar height at somepoint

All true, but I want to decide on the stem for a given frame and fork. It feels too low for me now, but I don't know much about street riding, I'd rather learn with the tried & tested geometry. If you measure, could you tell me whether it's the Hex of https://youtu.be/watch?v=JouWWKuBNbw? That would help nailing down the stack to a centimeter.
