I'm not sure it's that big a deal to switch crank lengths. I ride 172.5 on the road, and 165 on the track, and probably half my mileage (and almost all my racing) is on the track. It's usually not that noticeable, and only takes a few minutes to adjust usually.
+1. I go between 165's on the track and 170's on the road and I don't think about it when I'm riding. My opinion is you should go smaller on fixed. I would say 170's but it's your bike.
