The bike is nice but I think you should look at different brands. You're not going to be comfortable with either size and will likely spend the next year swapping components like stems, seat posts, etc. trying to make it work. I know, I made the same mistake with my first bike. Top tube reach was a tad too long and my neck/shoulders hurt all the time after I rode. I tried for months to make it work and wasted plenty of cash & time on parts but found that a similar style bike from a different brand just fit my body better. Shop around and try other models out. You might find something better suited for you.
