Actual sizing is between a traditional 56 and 58, which is right where I usually fall. My setup will be very different than yours as I have a shorter torso and longer legs. I'm 5'11" (down from my former 6') with a PBH of 34.25". I also have a neck that will not bend up very far, so I have to run my handlebars higher than my saddle height. So I will be running more spacers, a shorter stem and definitely will not have my stem flipped down like yours. I'm hoping a 90mm 6 . degree up stem will work so I can use a Red Shift Shock Stem.
