Still have a 26" bfe as my ratty town bike. Used to hack it around the Peaks but can't see it getting used as a proper mtb ever again tbh.
Running a medium frame with a 160mm dropper in there. What generation Jeht do you have? Mine is 1st gen, and I think they made changes recently that improved the space for bigger droppers. That said, I don't have any issues with the amount of drop I have, it's not like I'm getting super rad or anything.

Looking back at pictures of it now it looks very short and steep! Was great fun with 160mm 36s though. Found an extra small 26" BFe for my wife recently too, in the same colour as mine from 10 years ago.
Gen1 too, they heavily discounted the last few frames they had left at the end of last year and going for one of them rather than a Gen2 meant I could afford a better shock and fork. 1° change to seat angle and a 5mm lower bb plus an extra brace tube on the Gen2 didn't seem worth the extra cash. Looking at the specs of the OneUp post I might be able to squeeze in 190mm.

Can't get enough of it, it's bloody brilliant! It's my fifth Cotic now, started on a 26" BFe.
My only complaint is the max insert length for a dropper isn't massive. I've got a 200mm Trans-x +rad shimmed down to 170mm and it's still a bit high at max insertion on a large frame at 5'11. Probably need to try a OneUp and I might be able to get 180/190mm travel. What size frame/dropper are you running?
