Thank you George; you are welcome. My frame size chart and recommendations on my web site are for an efficient racing position. Rather than give people multiple choices which I think are confusing, I am saying here is a place to start; this will be your smallest size frame and your longest handlebar stem. From there, do as you have done, and choose a slightly larger frame and maybe a shorter stem if your goals are comfort over absolute efficiency.

If your choices are limited like the original poster of this thread who has a choice between a 52 cm. and a 55 cm. This person appears to be right in the middle of these two sizes; in which case I would suggest choosing the smaller size because it offers more scope for adjustment.
