They are both being replaced shortly anyway. If I had to do it over I would have went with the 53 vs 56. it will work fine just not a perfect fit. Curve on the forks looks fine. Handlebars will take some getting used to. I don't like how the ends of the bars hit the top tube when fully turned side to side and does not look like there is away to adjust them so they miss the top tube.
why do you wish you sized down? This one looks like it fits you pretty well!
