I'm the same height as you, ride a 57cm cross frame (with a 120mm stem) and a 19.5" (effective 24.4") xc frame (with a 100mm stem).
I think I'm also probably between sizes and had the same sizing issue as you a month ago, but glad I went for the shorter frame and a longer stem. I tried wider bars and a short stem but didn't really get it, just doesn't feel conductive to riding bikes fast to me.

Cheers, I reckon going shorter might be the better option.
Going to try and test ride one of them, I got to see a 19.5 recently but only sat on it and kicked the tyres*
@AdsH I think my Saddle/Bar drop is usually quite large, I'm not sure how it will translate to a MTB, I did have a hardtail a couple years back but sold it pretty quickly.

Currently looking at a Trek Superfly 7 for XC racing, a bit late in the year now, but more for after this years CX season and long days out in the woods.
Anybody have experience with one?
I'm 6ft 1" so could fit between a 19.5 and 21.5 frame, in general is it best to size down or up?
