I also have a Juliana in xs and it fits me very well.
I'll be selling it soon to go to a Giant Anthem Womens in xs, because I think the anthem is a better climber, but I did like Jules because she fit me so well.

As for specialized, it's not the bikes I have issues with. Its the company. This is from an industry standpoint though, and really has nothing to do with the quality of the bikes they build.

I had (recently sold) a specialized road bike from years past. It was a nice bike. But I've never had a fs mtn bike from them. Just an old cheap hardtail back in the day.
