In Between Sizes - Big Difference?

Hey everyone, I just received my Canyon Pathlite hybrid and am not sure if it's too big or not. I feel a little stretched out but it just might be because I haven't ridden in a while and don't know what it should feel like. The Canyon measurement tool on the site says I'm a small but the rep on the phone suggested I get a medium so I got a medium. I'm 5'10" with a 31" inseam. If I put in one inch taller and one higher for the inseam, it says medium so I figure I'm right on the border.

Could you guys tell me if there would be a big difference in feel based on the geometry of a small and a medium? I've compared the numbers and a lot of the measurements are the same or less than 1" difference but I don't know what that translates to in body position. The standover height is .87" higher in the medium. I can stand over the top tube flat footed but the boys are touching it. How important is that?

Should I get a small or is a medium fine? TIA
