Reason being, I'm curious to hear the difference between the two from perspective of diameter and how it affects handling or frame geometry.

Going 650b for wider tires is a widely established idea.
You edited your initial post after I responded. My response made sense for what you initially asked.
Between your initial questions and your edited, I really dont know what you want to know because they arent close to similar questions.

But going off your now edited questions- I prefer 700c. I like the look of larger wheels with the larger frame, I have always used that size, that size feels fine to me for spinning up to speed, I dont want to spend many hundreds for a 650b wheelset and tires just to experiment, and the tire width I use right now is perfectly fine for how/where I ride.
