WSD has to do with body proportions (torso, arms, legs), not overall height, although it's true it can be hard to find men's frames in the smallest sizes.
If all you're looking for is a weight reduction, you're automatically undercutting yourself by going to a mountain bike with suspension fork, wide rims and knobby tires. All those things are very useful off-road, but if you only intend to ride pavement, all they do is add weight. At least the forks can be locked out on that bike, which you'll want to do on pavement, but if you're going to ride with them locked all the time, why pay for a suspension fork?
Test ride lots of bikes, choose the one that best fits your body and your budget.
