Interesting... I’ve been in touch with Soma and the distributors direct and they’ve both suggested a 54 as I’m going to using it for wood and forest trails etc, might be worth me getting to Seabass and seeing one in the flesh/trying one for size and then going from there.
Yokozuna brakes are on the list... they look great and at a damn good price as well. Thinking carbon forks up front as well with a set of hunt 4 seasons

For what it's worth, I'm 6ft with a 86-87cm inseam and ride a 58cm V3.0 Wolverine. 90mm, -10° stem with 40mm of spacers. I was about to go for a 56, but LBS advised me to go for a 58 as it was intended more for touring than for racing. After two years of long days in the saddle it feels about the right choice. Also tried his 58 Double Cross at the moment, which helped to make my choice.
Concerning brakes, I use cable-actuated hydraulic Yokozuna Motoko. They work great, nice modulation, plenty of stopping power, easy to maintain. I recently mounted Juin Tech R1 that are identical for half the price on another bike (you have to get Yokozuna Reaction housing separately though).
