The top tube numbers seem low to me. I'm similar size and hard to fit but I like a 59cm top tube. The best thing to do would be to get on a bike and see what you like and don't like about the measurements.
30 years ago I ran about a 4inch drop from saddle to bar top, now I can only handle about an inch or a little more. Not wanting to use a ton of spacers, I look for a frame with a 220 or 230mm headtube and I use an uncut steer tube.
