Had seen the Cube Peloton, but initially discounted it because Claris, not Sora. Would this make a discernible difference? Google has mixed views on this.
Thanks for the sizing advice, I'm gonna measure me, my inside leg, and compare sizing with current frames when I get home later.
Vitus Razor VR Womens and Vitus Razor VR seem to have exactly the same frame geometry, according to the size guide. What's the diff?

Difference between Claris and Sora is pretty small, they both felt the same (shifting and braking wise), just the latter is cheaper and last longer than Sora.
Found geometry chart for the Vitus, no difference between male and female model, just the paintjob.
Also geometry chart show that the 54cm also have a large headtube (similar to a 56cm).
TL:DR; any of the bike you'll choose you'll be happy with.

Kinda, the reach will feel slightly shorter than the B-twin you test ride because of the unusually taller headtube.
The bike should feel like it fit like a glove, you're fairly tall but the 56cm from your description felt like a stretch, so the 54cm with spacers/or the Cube Peleton in 53cm will be enough for you.
