Any bike that makes you want to ride is worth the extra $$$, IMO. And all of my bikes make me feel that way.
Why did you go with a 58? I was worried about reach but the reach on the 56 vs 58 was a couple of mm. The stack is a lot more though. Just wondering.
I am 5'11" but with a longer torso. A 58 would be pushing stand over for me, and my saddle height over bar would be too little. I got the 56 and I feel a bit too upright, my saddle height is near my bar height, so will probably need to adjust that. I have had o set he saddle back about 1.5 cm.
