There are different schools of thought on this. The longer, lower, slacker school has many advocates. But I know riders who do size down for whippability.
Going to a Cotic demo day and trying different sizes could help. Or even organise one. If you can get enough mates out on your local trails the Cotic moving feast will come to you.
I've got a Bfe with a 1220mm wheelbase and 27.5" wheels (I'm short) and I love it. I wouldn't go bigger currently, think that's as long as I need. All that Geometron and Pole stuff is for the freakishly tall. :-D
