Geometry/Handling: 54 vs 56 Roubaix?

I'm 5'10 and I can usually ride a 54 or 56. I'm looking at buying a 2020+ Roubaix. I prefer a quicker handling frame but not too twitchy. My current bike is a 2011 54cm Scott CR1 (73° head angle). I'm 53 now so I'm looking for more comfortable ride. I realize I'll probably have to sacrifice some nimbleness to get a smoother ride... thus the search for a Roubaix. Looking at geometrygeek.bike website, the 54 vs 56 numbers are a little puzzling to me (head angle, trail). What are your thoughts on how the handling compares between these two? -Appreciate it
