Frame Suggestions to Replace SE Draft

I made the mistake of purchasing an SE draft about half a year ago. I began to upgrade gradually, swapping components when needed, and at the moment the only thing stock on the bike is the frame, bottom bracket, forks and headset. I'm looking for suggestions on the best option for a frame set to replace it with. The weight is finally starting to get to me, and i feel the 52cm size is a bit too small (im between 5'8 and 5'9). Thank

I should probably also mention that I have since converted it to a FG, although I'm not sure this would make any difference in a frame selection

Kilo stripper or Pake frameset if your looking for affordable. Great bikes for the money.
