I forgot to a couple times and I almost ate ****, and ultimately bought an Hour for a laxer geo and no overlap. For a lot of people it wasn't an issue, for me it was. I like the geo on my Hour much better. I personally don't see the point of having Track geo on the street, but that's just my opinion.
Daybreak:
50cm vs 54cm is a big difference, and will have more to do with overlap than the hour's geometry. When you're dealing with discrepancies as high as 4cm, you really can't compare them as equals. Not to mention, one of the bikes is the wrong size for you.

For what it's worth, I have a 50cm Kilo and have learned to deal with the toe overlap pretty easily, it just takes practice.
