I'd agree with Matt about wheel size only being a small factor and we could go on about the main difference between 26", 29", 700C is the distance/revolution.

The OP is also commuting not landing jumps in the local woods so wheel strength only really has to deal with hitting potholes.

Best advice as others said is to try one. Exact frame height only matters if you want to get off the saddle in a hurry and safely not catch your balls on the top tube. If it's still ergonomic while pedalling, the larger frame is fine so long as you don't step off on a dip. I'd still recommend never to get anything that has that risk though...

Also it's the saddle that most people find uncomfortable so you'll need to find which saddle supports your butt's bones and has the right level of padding for you.
