I had a cheviot for a brief while as well. I liked how it rode, but if I could go back I probably would've gotten the Clementine. I would always hit my feet on the Chev top tube, I kept thinking it was lower than it actually was. The slight bend of the Clementine would also make it easier to carry up and down my apartment steps (which I found was a bit inconvenient). A normal top tube was more convenient as I could just shoulder it (have a Hunq on order now).
If you don't have to worry about stairs, I would go Cheviot. Unless you want fatter tires, but I found the 50cm Cheviot with Switchback Hills a really great ride.
