I'm pretty comfortable on the bike but I've always "felt" that it's a bit big. I can't really quantify that... it's just a feeling. If I ever get some free cash to buy a second bike I will definitely look into a 56 C to C. With the Masi the seat is set at 74.5 cm height and is in a neutral pedal position. In that position when I am on the tops the front hub is starting to show behind the bars. In the drops it is perfectly obscured. I have been thinking about moving the seat a bit forward to help my spinning.
