I assume that recommendation was made on the basis of  your reach.  
According to the geometry chart the TT on the 650/58 is 58.5 while on 
the 700/57 it is 57.  I have a PBH of 84.5, but a short torso.  With 
drop bars and my seat back where I like it I find that a TT of over 57cm 
has me more stretched out than I prefer.  If you have a longer torso or 
are more flexible than I or plan to use Albatross type bars, the longer 
TT would be fine.
