The bike is beautifully proportioned, fits like a glove and handles perfectly.
I don't have any experience with small frames with 700c wheels so I can't debate the pros and cons.
You've gotten a lot of good advice here. Find out what your fitting needs are, A stock frame may be fine, and remember a bike can feel good in the parking lot but horrible after 10-20 miles on it.
