Overall height aint go nutin to do wit it.
What is your inseam measurement.
No shoes, feet flat, shoulder's width apart, wedge a book with the spine snugly against your crotch, measure to floor.
For example: I'm 6'0" yet I've got a LONG torsoe and short legs. I ride a 17" frame, heck, I'm comfy on a 15" frame!!!!
If you are going that route why be overly concerned about that, most people are more concerned with top tube length than standover height these days. I know I am. Going by the sounds of your bike sizes you are as well. For the actual height as long as you have a couple inches standover the height can be corrected by the seatpost height.
The truth is there is only one "truely accurate" way to find a bike that fits. That is to test ride.
*edit* You could take someone with the exact same measurements as me and they would probably be miserable on my bike. I like to be pretty stretched out yet I like to have a very short stem. I also like to have quite a bit of saddle to bar drop. This is why test rides are so important, nothing is set in stone.
