Ensure you have a short stem (size up on the frame if required) to keep a large useable volume up front.
I was thinking about this. It's a tricky one.
For a start, despite my 187cm, I'm all torso so I tend to need quite long reach compared to my saddle height so if I size up to get the right reach, the frame might feel a bit tall with not great standover.
Another consideration is that it would be useful but not essential if my other half could hop on the bike and take it to the shops if necessary. She's quite a lot shorter than me and I thought with the medium rather than a large, she may be able to get around on it with a stem swap and the seatpost down but the difference in our height might be too great for that to work

From the FB owners' group the consensus seems to be that the cargo is stiffer under very heavy loads. Saying that I've never had any issues with stiffness on the mini-max (I don't carry anvils on a regular basis), and the shorter size is definitely a plus when I have to fit it in spaces designed for regular bikes. Ensure you have a short stem (size up on the frame if required) to keep a large useable volume up front.
