Chris The 53cm Hunqapillar was definitely the "right" size for me. There's a lot more than a fist full of seatpost showing, but with 2.4" tires, it's got a pretty tall standover itself. Without question, if I buy a Hunqapillar, 53 would be the size I'd pick. Since they have it on the floor for rides, you could call them and tell them to set it up with your SH and take a photo of it and email it to you. I'll do it for you next time I roll by if you like.
