Catalyst diameter, based on the pommel diameter, is about 1.4 inches. The Manticore diameter, based on a guess from the description on the main site, is 1.5 inches (because the description says it 1/5" diameter, and I'm pretty sure that's just a typo since the . and / are right next to each other on a keyboard. And I know it's not 1/5 of an inch in diameter.). By way of comparison, the Sentinel is 1.45 inches in diameter.
However, the Catalyst is 12.5 inches long, whereas the Manticore is only 11". Both of those measurements are with pommel, but in looking at each pommel on the site, both are 1.1 inches long, so putting a coupler on two takes the same length off of either hilt. Again as comparison, the Sentinel is 12.375 inches long.
Since you're 5'7", and since the diameter difference is only 0.05 inches, I would recommend the Manticore, as it's shorter. However, since you already like the Sentinel and it's longer than either of these, you would probably do ok with the Catalyst as well. Personally I like the Catalyst more, but that's really just personal preference.
Just to double check though, are you absolutely sure you're using two Sentinels and not two Apprentices?
