Yep, if you had a long torso you'd already know it. You'd find that shirts are often too short, and jeans are often too low-cut.
My example - I have the same inseam as you and I'm 5'6"! *Very* long-torsoed.
Anyhow, I wound up getting a wsd bike anyway because I have short arms (to go with my short legs, I guess). I put a slightly longer stem on it, but otherwise it's worked well for me.

You want long-torsoed. I'm a freakin' Hobbit. I'm 5'6" with a 26.5 " inseam. Capri pants come to my ankles! Mini skirts, below my knees.My flightsuit looked ridiculous on a hanger...all body with these short sleeves and legs. Fitting me for a bike is a nightmare. I hate it.
