I think the 540mm ett on the Wraith may be a little too short for you, when you look at the 366mm reach for that size.
(My inseam is a bit over an inch taller than you / same height though, and ride a 543mm ett, with a 373mm reach).

The Smoothie with its 550mm ett would be pretty good imo, but I read the reach numbers for that size, and something seems way off in the reach figures across the frame sizes.
ie 366mm on the Wraith, but over 390mm on the Smoothie ???

The Smoothie also has a 10mm shorter headtube, which would suit your "agressive" position liking.

Edit: Read your post again and noticed your mention of the steel bike you have 55x55.
I would get a tape measure out and measure reach and stack of that frame, along with the seat tube angle.
Then compare those figures against these two frames; go from there.
