Switch from 29 to 27.5?

New to mountain biking, still road biking, and recently picked up an Intense Primer with some nice parts, including Spank 345 Trail tubeless alloy wheels. Thinking about switching to 27.5, would like to feel my bike a bit lower overall as the 29's make for a very tall bike. Medium size frame is right, but the wheels make it feel much larger. My question, is that an odd thing to do? So many 29'rs out there now and not sure if 29's are really important for me as a total mtb noob. So, is that a dumb switch? And, anybody out there want to sell some 27.5's or swap for my 29's as part of the deal?
Thanks in advance...
Brian
