Brent, Thanks for doing that! I think the Sam numbers in the new chart were changed after the initial posting, as the 58cm Sam had a listed ETT of 61.5 (I think). That has been changed to 60, still a bit longer than the 59cm listed previously but I have no reason to believe it wrong.
And, yes, you are a lucky guy! I have two Riv's, an Appaloosa and a Cheviot, but still with Hillborne and/or Atlantis aspirations. Thanks again for the report and the measuring.
