@Tijs yep, 26" to 650B was the plan. You need 12.5mm of free adjustment in the cantis, and CR720s have varied reports of working. I figured if there wasn't enough I'd just file out the slot, wouldn't want to muck around with the dropouts especially.
The main problem with mini-Vs or full Vs (ie Paul MotoLites) is they struggle to clear big mudguards, and the selection of levers for full Vs is limited without resorting to a travel agent. I think cantis look nicer too.
At this point though, the headache of finding good 650b rims and that report of the LHT fork might swing me to sticking with 26"
