Based on that number I know it would appear that I'd fit a Large, but just barely on the standover...and really don't wanna be crowded there.

Looking at the numbers between the M & L there really isn't a ton of difference, the largest difference is in Standover & Stack, and based on that, I think I'm going to opt for the Medium, I just wish the stack was a little higher on it...And compared to my Salsa Journeyman this size medium is going to to have 2.3" lower stack & about .7" longer reach, which I "think" means I'll feel more stretched out on this bike, something I could probably fix with shorter stem with an increased rise, and/or a bit higher rise on the bars, or possibly a a riser bar with a bit of a backsweep.
