Who said I wasn't trying to get your money ;-). <This is the internet, I could be the same guy posting those bikes in Louisville.> In all seriousness though it seems like you are on the right track.
Just ride as many as you can. I am 5'9 and have a 19" hardtail and 54cm touring bike (sized smaller). As you can see by Santaria's post we are all different. That's why most of us recommend test riding so you have an idea of what is right for you.
