Depends on what you want it for. Some tall people go for the 15 but some less tall go for the 17 as they want to put some miles and climbing in too.

Becoming slowly more convinced that I should buy one and not the sensible xc bike I should probably get...

I'm 5ft 9in and the bike is a 15in. If you want a 'proper' pedalling height, then you'll need a 400mm post as it really is a small frame. The 17in isn't too much taller, I don't think, but it is longer.

Thanks everyone for your help.
