Standover may not be important but if you're shifting seat forward for reach then you're compromising knees position.
I have owned a bike frame that was 2 cm larger than I needed, seemed like a great compromise given the closeout price. Changed seatpost, stem, saddle.... never got comfortable, got rid of the frame.
False economy.
Wait it out.
