My daughter needs a commuter bike and I'd like to buy the Straggler frame and build up a commuter with other components that I have on hand, which includes a set of 650 wheels. I gather from reading some of the information on the Internet that the only difference is the wheels, but nobody has actually spelled that out that I can find.
The geometry is adjusted for the smaller 650B wheels (note specifically the bottom-bracket drop and fork length):
