I've bought 5 frames or bikes from Rivendell, and every one of them (i) is bigger than I would have chosen on my own, and (ii) fits perfectly. You should not abandon your own judgment, but they ought to be given a lot of deference in the sizing of their frames and bikes -- they really do know what they're talking about.

I would listen to Rivendell. I made the mistake of getting my first Rivendell on the small side against their recommendation. A couple of years later I ordered the larger frame and have been a whole lot happier with it. I blame it on me having a Fit Kit certification and 10 years experience selling bikes to people that were in all honestly too small for them in retrospect. I cringe every time I walk into a shop and see some 6 foot bloke being fitted on a 19 inch mtn bike or a 59 cm road bike. I am pretty sure I recall an article by Maynard Hershon stating that he to should have gotten a larger bike.

I am planning on getting a RIV sometime, and was wondering if I should go by what they recommend (I hear usually larger), or go with my gut (smaller).
