It is not a huge change as a 50cm frame will be around 97cm wheelbase and a 61 at 100cm.

You would have to be riding two bikes of radically different frame sizes to notice or see a difference in weight distribution.
An then there is post #24
The difference stems from moving saddles and bars to make the bike fit. Of course 1-3cm +/- won’t be noticed by some riders on some rides.
