I went thru the search for a smaller frame about 18 mos ago, thinking I needed a WSD since I am 5' 3 1/2 and shrinking! I tried the Specialized and the Trek and looked at several others. But, when I found the Litespeed Capella I was hooked. They make frames in a S, M, L etc and I ended up with the M with plenty of standover room. I put a shorter stem on and have been happy ever since. I did work with a good bike shop (and my son worked there as a mechanic). I believe the Capella has been replaced by the Vela or the one above it in the line. Check their website and you can see the geometry for each frame size. Good Luck!
