Agreed - that's a pretty big discrepancy from what he should be on to what he's on. I also agree with you about the slightly smaller frame being a good choice for the reasons you cite. That said, it's going to depend on leg length, torso length and arm length. For example, I have a very hard time getting fit on stock frames because of long legs, long torso and short arms.
