Another note to keep in mind is that stock MXLs tended to have slacker HTAs which would impact the TT length that you would typically consider. As an example, one of my MXLs has a 58 cm TT but rides like a 56.

I guess really I'm 5'11". Just depends who measures, haha.
I ride a few different sizes ('15 Felt F3 is a 56, '85 Bianchi Mondiale is a 59, '02 Bianchi Vigorelli is a 55).
Out of those, I feel the 59cm Bianchi is a touch big since I like a tighter feel and shorter head tube, but it's just such a sick frame. The 55cm has a very long stem, like 120-130mm, but I like the steering. Very racy. The Felt 56cm is about as perfect as I can get I think.
ETA, just was thinking about the angles you mentioned, my '02 Vigorelli has a very angled ST, even visually. That may contribute to my sizing on it.
Maybe I need to look at a geometry chart.
Maybe 56-57 E.M.?
