It's no doubt frustrating to designers all over SL (furniture and buildings come to mind) that individual heights can be literally anything. These shapes are at least moddable, so even though the Small one seems not all that small, if you like the shape you can shrink it down to something that suits you better.

At least more and more people I know are starting to use AvRulers and set their height to a more realistic 6' It’s scary when 6′7″ is seen as small.

I agree about the demo shapes, it's very hard to judge if you will like a shape without seeing it "in the flesh", perhaps with your existing skins. In my own store, I have two no copy, no mod demos for each shape; one which has a "normal" body but a completely hideous face (think Quasimodo....but uglier), another with "normal" face but very disproproportionate limbs. By switching back and forth between these two shapes, the customer has an idea of what the final shape will look like. I wish more places did this, it would be very useful. Nice shapes.
