Wildcat, in my experience Rivendell won't steer you wrong regarding sizing. The "safest" sizing is what you describe. That doesn't mean the 56 won't work for you. A shorter reach stem and you could easily be in business and amazingly comfortable.
I have a PBH of 90 cm and ride a 66 Quickbeam. 62 cm is the size Rivendell would steer me toward, but I absolutely love my 66. I take it on single track all the time, which conventional wisdom says not to do unless your frame is smaller. Never had an issue. You milage may vary, but it may well be worth trying what you have to see how it works. Take a closer look at the geometry charts. Compare actual TT length to something you ride and enjoy. between adjusting the saddle and stem, can you make it what you want?
