Yeh I wouldn't worry about standover. Remember when kids used to slam the saddle on massive frames?
If you're going for a Porter style then I'd be tempted to go for the larger frame. With swept back bars you may want a slightly longer stem than usual. So an even longer stem on a smaller frame might look a bit odd.
Plus less seat post will look better on a porter.
Oh and Pompino s can (and do) look good.

Nearly ordered that Pelago frameset but just a touch concerned about the geo as I am right between the size 60 and 57. The standover looks a bit freaky for me and the lower size has a shortish top tube so TCO is a concern?
But it otherwise looks perfect. Some kind of porteur-esque thing like that is what I'm after. I might just get a Pompino yet, aesthetics bedamned...
