Full Sus Sizing?

Hi All
Looking for some help in regards to sizing for my first full susser. I currently have a 21" Spesh Hardrock (I'm about 6' 3" tall), which is fine in size for me. I've been into my local bike dealers and I'm looking at buying a Giant Reign. The guy has told me that they come in 20" & 21" but he has also said for a full susser, I should look at a slightly smaller size, like the 20".
Is this correct? Any other comments help that anyone can offer?
Cheers in advance. [:)]

It really shouldn't make much of a difference whether a bike is FS or not to sizing. The top tube length is the key. Find out what it is on the 21" Hardrock and use that to get the appropriate sized Reign.
Just had a quick Gander on the site and it looks as if the Reign comes in S (16"), M (18") and L (20") with no 21" XL size. The horizontal TT on the Hrock is 640mm on your 21" version and 605mm on the Large Reign. So it would make sense to go for that to give you room to breath.
Ultimately, its your choice and you may prefer the more aggressive feel of a smaller frame.
