Niner RLT Steel owners, I'm in between sizes and not sure what to do

I'm hoping to get an RLT steel next year, but because I can't actually test ride one because they're so scarce at the moment, I'm trying to figure out whether to order a 56 or a 59. I could actually test ride the 56 and 59 RDO at a shop a couple hours from me, but the geometry isn't the same, but maybe it's still worth doing.

I currently ride a 58 Jamis Exploit now, which fits me well, and it has very similar geometry to the RLT 59, according to the bike insight geometry compare tool. I'm 5'10.5" and have a 31" in seam. The Niner website suggests that if you're in between sizes to size down for a more maneuverable ride and size up for more stability.

Anyway, curious to know...if you are in between sizes for the RLT, which way did you go with it?

Thanks!!!
