Kona Paddy Wagon Sizing Help

Hi all. I'm looking to get a Kona Paddy Wagon very soon but unfortunately none of the shops in my city stock them, so I'm gonna have to order one from interstate without having the chance to test ride any different sizes.

I'm just over 5'11" tall and I have an 05 Kona Dr Dew which I'm pretty sure is a 58cm frame. I thought it was a 56, but I measured the head tube against the 07 measurement chart on the Kona website and it seems to be a 58cm frame by that measurement. I still love this bike and the size is pretty much bang on the money for me.

Does 58cm seem like it'd be the right size for me in a Paddy Wagon? Might I get away with a 56cm? Will the different geometry affect what size Paddy Wagon frame would be better for me compared to the Dr Dew? If anyone who rides a Paddy Wagon could tell me your height and frame size, or just give any other advice it'd be much appreciated.

Cheers.
