Personally, I wouldn't change frame sizes to shift to 650b.
Anywho, I saw that frame at the Seattle Bike Swap, being sold by one of the guys from Swift Industries. It's in great shape.

I think that's a factory drilling, where the wheelbuilder didn't use every hole. Judging by the spacing, I mean. I had members in my club use 48-spoke hubs and then only use every other hole.
