I think the fact this is a metal bike makes it more reasonable for you to be disappointed in narrow size ranges.
Metal isn't winning any performance contests any more. One of the best ways for them to provide additional value with alloy or steel bikes and to differentiate them from their carbon competitors is to make more sizes and make them fit a wider array of people well. It's too bad too few do this.
