The top tube length is the vital part really. I have long arms and like being quite far forward over the BB, so need the larger frame + a long stem to get the right reach.
I think if the bike is going to be track specific, then it's generally best to get the smallest size that will fit you with a long seatpost and stem. Maybe the 56 would work for that as it does for gizmond.
As far as a larger frame being more 'comfy', my 60cm is still stiffer and more responsive than any smaller frames I've ridden. By no means a comfortable ride off the track.
Will it be set up for the track?
