You rode them. Which feels better to you? I will say that my pick of two different size bikes was opposite between my initial test ride in the parking lot and a 10 mile ride on each the next day. I liked the smaller frame for so many more reasons. One being it was sportier and more fun feeling. However if you are wanting a more luxurious ride, maybe the larger frame.
There isn't any one formula that can be applied to everyone to give them their perfect feeling bike size choice.
