Looking at buying a Camber 29 frame, I am always in the middle of sizes at 5' 11 n a bit inches with a 31.5" inside leg. Currently ride a 46cm (medium) Lapierre 29er and a 19" Large Marin full suss which has always niggled at me as being a bit long.
What sizes are you riding please for real world views. I know size chart has me as a large. At a push I can go find a dealer with one, but order is online.
If you find a 19inch marin long, I'd definitely say go for a medium. I've had a similar issue sizing up a stumpjumper FSR 29er. They are long in the the top tube. I'm 6ft 1 and have ordered a large. Having said that, there seems to be a growing trend of getting longer frames and just running a super short stem..
5ft 9, 30in inside leg with a medium. Also run a short (50mm) stem, but that sizes up about 5cm shorter from seat to bars than my hardtail.
I would say you are probably in the middle of the two, but if you want a more stretched position go for the large.
Its the more stretched out position that concerns me, I don't like it, more of an upright position I prefer.
For what its worth the Horizontal Top Tube measures on the Marin at 23.7 inches.
I'm 5'11" and 32" inside leg. I've got a medium and it's fine.

What he said!
5' 10" here, 32 inside leg. Medium camber 29er, medium/17.5" carve HT in the garage.
Both fit perfect.
5'8" with 31 1/2" inside leg on a medium camber with 50mm stem also. Had a medium Marin Attack Trail which was also right for me but that's no real help is it.
Tried my local retailer, sorry sir no cambers until 2014 comes into stock...bumders.
