What size SX Trail do I need?

None the shops around me have any in stock for me to get an idea of what size SX I am going to want. My S-works Stumpy FSR Carbon is a Medium, along with my old Epic. So I am assuming that a Medium SX would do me fine. My question is, would I benefit having a small rather than a medium? For getting off the back of the saddle, jumps, and bombing downhill runs...things like that. I'm 5'9" and my stumpy fits me perfectly. I know I want the smallest thing I can fit on comfortably, but I don't want to feel cramped.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm just over 5'10" and also have the medium which fits perfectly. I'd read that the small comes up very small, so I would have thought a medium would suit you too. It also has a very short (40mm) stem so the small would be pretty cramped unless you have short arms?
