Smile Looking for insight on sizing new bike

Hey guys! I was looking for advice on a bike I'm looking to buy. I am 175cm (5'9.5") tall with 81.5cm (32 in) inseam. Currently I ride a small Canyon Ultimate with a 54.3cm top tube. I'm looking at a bike from a frame builder with a 55cm top tube. I'm not 100% sure on the reach on the bike i'm interested in but am awaiting a response. However, what I notice about this potential bike is the seat tube and standover seem to be high. The seat tube is 555.2mm and standover is 798.8mm, where as my Canyon has a 492mm seat tube and 775mm standover. I have previously ridden a 56cm which felt just a tad big. So while the 55mm top tube appears a good fit, I am not quite sure how these higher seat tube and standover measurements would affect my fit. I do know the builder advertises using classic geometry. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you
