Well, I'm more like 5,9 1/2 :)
And I almost certainly was partly influenced by MTB geometry, but the 56 was definately too big - it felt dangerous to sit on even stationary in the shop.
The guy fitting me seemed to know what he was talking about, but I do think I could have gotten away with a 54 too. Just not the 56, so I would go for the 54, as you plan. And do let me know how you find that sizing, it'll be interesting to compare.
