At 5'11, 32mm pant inseam, 72" wingspan, even though 56mm is the conventional size for me is there a downside to going to 58mm if I prefer a more upright riding position with such a minimal increase in reach?

I have no idea about the difference.
Notice you want to move to A more
upright riding position .Might want to test ride A endurance type road Bike is very similar to a road race bike, but with geometry, specification and frame materials tuned to make them more comfortable over longer rides and rough roads.Most have longer head tube,chain stay and wheel base.But A shorter top tube.I just started looking into buying one.I hope I got most of this info right.
As I was planing on getting A newer Giant TCR,I have A '04 already.But I'm getting older,been off the bike way too long.And want to try A different
geometry and see how it fits.See what your LBS has to say and offer.
Looks like the Specialized Roubaix has same wheel base as the bicycle you are looking at,but different specs.
Going to try A test ride A Giant Defy Advanced,Scott Solace,Cannondale Synapse CARBON,Specialized Roubaix and Jamis Xenith Endura Elite.
