NOS88 I'm just over 6' and inseam just under 33". My road bike is a Specialized 58.5 and my Surly disc trucker is a 58. Yes the 54 is too small and I test road several 56 frames and felt they were too small for me, one was a used Cannondale Touring 1 (recently tested it). The other 56 I had is a Fuji and I gave it to my son because it was too small. I have a ton of miles on both my 58 cm bikes. Note that I recently bought a used BMC road bike that is listed as 60 but it is more like the 58 Specialized....very similar in size.
