Kinesis xc 120 sizing

Im about to purchase an xc120 but was in two minds about which size to go for the 42cm (16.8") or 46cm(18.1cm).
Ive been riding a Specialized hardrock pro 17" with Rockshock judy 100TT for the last five years and Im gonna build the kinesis up from scratch.
I love the angled top tube on the hardrock and the frame dimensions (just not the weight).
Obviously the kinesis does not have such an angled frame as the hardrock but I would love to reproduce a similar ride set up with the completed build.
Im 5 10" of slim build
What size frame and fork combination shall I go for?
If anybody can help by posting a pic of completed xc120s and their sizes etc that would be great.

i bought my xc120 about 2 and a half years ago
i wne for the 18" and was about your height when i bought it (i was 15 at the time)
i set it up with xt and lx and a rockshox tora 318 uturn which has been pretty poor tbh
the frame is pretty much perfect size wise except for the stem i have (100mm) id deffinitly try a 70-80mm stem for improved steering response with out feeling cramped.
fork wise id go for anythin over 120mm cos any lower cause the cranks to hit the floor.
depending on budget i go for a reba or f120 for full on xc race/marathon or a revelation or float 32 for trail.
id also go for a long seatpost, wide bars and the best saddle u can afford as it can get harsh after a few hours0
