Help with correct size frame.

I am in the market for a new bike but I am unsure what my correct size is. I know everyone will likely say go get fitted at a shop, but my question of more specific. I am 5ft 11in tall, but I would say that I have longer arms/torso and shorter legs. I test rode a Orbea today that is 52cm stand-over height. It really felt fantastic and it didn't seem cramped or awkward. I rode a 57cm Bianchi the other day and it really seemed too tall. Is a 52cm Orbea going to be too small for me? Is there a specific test or measurement i could do to see if it is in fact too small? Thanks!
