I totally agree. Even though I've gone over all the geometries and a Large seems to be a very good fit, I still hesitate buying a bike that I cannot at least test ride before purchasing. This is still one of the hurdles I have to convince myself is smaller than I'm making it out to be but I still hesitate and it may be the deal killer when it comes to plopping down my money.
