Your total height tells me to tell you to get the 22.5 for the extra top tube length. As long as you an comfortably straddle the top tube, the larger size is appropriate in your case.

FXs are sweet bikes. I don't own one, but if I did it would be a 22.5. I'm a whisker under 6', but I ride large because of long arms and legs. The 20 is too small.
