size down or size up?

I race road and crit and tend to like a tighter race fit for my bike.
I am buying a Kestrel in such a way that I can't test fit the bike before I buy. I'm interested in hearing some fellow racer opinions on which size you might go with if in my position.
I am about 6'1" with a 32" inseam. I ride a 56 cm specialized and according to CC fit chart, I should ride about a 56.5 top tube. Kestrel bikes run uneven sizes. The 57 frame has a 57 top tube and the 55 frame has a 55.6 top tube.
here is a link to the bike and size chart at the bottom of page.

thanks for your input
