Cube reaction sizing help

Hi
Just been sitting on some Cube bikes this afternoon.
I am 5'9, 30" inside leg and ride a cube stereo 18" currently.
I tried a 19" Reaction and a 17" analogue, very similar geometry.
The 19" felt a bit big, but I think that i may be able to sort this with a lower stack and shorter stem.
The 17" felt small, again this would be better on the reaction after sorting the stem and it has different bars (wider and lower). the Geometry is so very close, only really the reach and stand over to worry about. 19" is nestling the jewels as does the Stereo.
Thoughts please

I have swapped to a 750 bar and 50mm stem on the Stereo.
Think the reaction will have a 60 mm one when I get it.
Thanks for your post, could you give me some feed back on the reaction, what sort of riding will it take as I am selling the stereo to buy the reaction
Cheers
I chose the 18" and am glad I did as I fall between the 16/18 sizes
I like having a bit of room on a bike
Hoipe that helps

Interesting, im about your height and also obviously between 16 and 18, and went for a 16 reaction, because really its about the same size as cube aim 18"
