Test rode some Kona's...now some ?'s

I test rode the Hoss and the Dawg and the Coiler. I loved them all, I love they way the shifted and felt. Although I didn't take kindly to the FS's. I just didn't like the fact it felt semi-out of control in the rear end, I don't know how to explain it, it just didn't feel right. I rode the Hoss (wanted the Stuff). The guy said the Hoss was basically the Stuff, just the stuff had more travel, A LOT more travel. He didn't have an Stuff's in the store so he ordered me one, a large. My question is what happens if for some crazy reason I hate it and don't want to buy it. Am I obligated to buy it because he ordered it? The Hoss was an 18in, is that Kona's large? It felt kinda cramped to me but then I have been riding GF and I hear their geometry kinda stretches a rider out so maybe just some getting use too? I just feel this is a big buy for me and I wanna make sure I'm doing everything right. Thanks guys.
