You could go with the larger frame…but ask the shop to swap out for shorter crank arms..
Maybe 155mm? Just guessing. A shorter crank brings the range of leg motion to a tighter zone, so you don’t need to hyper extend at the bottom of the pedal stroke or hyper flex at the top of the pedal stroke.
You apparently have a longer than normal torso, so the M might still fit your reach with stock stem.

I’m 6’3 but am more comfortable on a XXL frame.
