First of all you are a lucky son of a Gun !!! the new 09 Orca is just too beautiful !!!,your LBS told you 51,mine told me 51, I'm telling you that the 51 will fit you better,it will be more maneuverable than the 54 frame,now is your decision if you like a bigger bike then go with what you "think" is right and ....
crank the s#$% out of it... and don't worry everybody will tell you "that is some hot nice bike" !!
