Hi all, I'm about to order a Sonder Camino Ti but I'm right on the boundary between the Medium and Large so thought I'd sanity check my thinking before I commit. I'm 186 cm tall with an 81 cm inseam. My current bike is a Giant AnyTour in size L (reach 401, stack 643, standover 818) and one thing I don't love about it is that the standover already feels a bit high – I don't really like that feeling of not having much clearance when stopping or shuffling the bike around.
Looking at the Camino geometry, the Medium is stack 583 / reach 395 / standover 773 and the Large is stack 601 / reach 420 / standover 812. The reach on the Large looks quite long to me, and the Medium would give quite a lot more standover clearance, which is appealing given how the Giant feels. Because of that I'm currently leaning towards the Medium. If the front end ends up feeling a bit low I'm planning to run a Redshift ShockStop stem (either the +6° or the +30° version) so there should be a fair bit of adjustment available there.
My riding is mostly gravel touring / long relaxed rides rather than racing, so comfort is definitely more important than aggressive fit. Just wondering if leaning Medium sounds sensible here or if I'm overlooking something obvious.

Your mid way from a 55-56 (Medium-Large) it will be up to you.
