Bianchi Infinito: another what's my size thread.

Hey guys, first road bike after riding BMX, mountain, and Hybrid since I was a kid. Fell in love with the Infinito and ordered it. It's on it's way (hopefully) in a size 59.

Here's the issue. I am 6'3 with a 34.5" inseam. Not many bikes at your LBS are in the bigger side so I haven't been able to sit on many. I once sat on a 58" Supersix and the sales guy said I should be in a 60". I felt like the 58" was big enough. Same thing goes for my hybrid. I walk into stores and everyone thinks I should ride a size bigger than what I have in mind. As you all may know the Infinito comes in odd number sizes. So if I am a 60 according to that sales guy and a 58 according to a Bianchi dealer they suggested I get the 59. I have never sat on a Infinito for reference.

What do you road guys think? I know many will say "what feels comfortable". But what might feel comfortable at the moment may not be the right size.
