I think your frame looks spot-on for a tall guy frame. I agree with MrSmyth, but we're only talking about a cm or two on the HT.
Tall folk usually have a larger saddle to bar drop then that (like I would know, at 5'7"). So the frame looks taller than usual.
My reasons for looking at a custom design were the opposite. To try and tweak the top tube slope to protect my bits while not having a bike that looks like a kids/girls bike. As well as tweaking the HT angle to the best balance of handling and reduced toe overlap.
