How tall are you, and will you use it for all sorts of riding, or DJ specifically?

Depends how they measure their frames... as a 15" in one brand is a 17" in another.

I'd go for the 15" if that's centre-centre, but if they measure it centre-top, then go the 17" (which should give the same size as a "real" 15")

Just for the record, I'm 174cm, and ride a "real" 14.5" and it's the perfect size for me, and I do similar to you (thrash/jumps/trials/everything).
