have 18 inch five and medium Soul. Soul feels slightly longer but it's built that way. Feels comfortable going from one to the other

I've an 18" Orange 5 and a 17" P7. If Orange did an 18" P7 I'd have that, but 19" is too big.

18" Five, 17.5" Genesis IO (although when I replace it with a Ti-IO it'll probably be a 19", even though the IO reach feels OK).

Had a 17" P7, a 17.5" Hustler and a 17.5" Handjob (2007/8) and they were all a little short (although bizarrely I got on really well with the older 2006 Handjob with shorter forks).

I'm 6ft, 32" inside leg.

I had a 2009 five in 18" and now have a large blur ltc - I went through the same debate - I chose a 17" P7 as the 19" would be too big to be fun!

I'm 5 11 with 32" legs BTW
