Seeing the three wheel sizes next to each other, particularly with tires mounted, shows that 650B is way closer to 26" than 29". I would guess that the vast majority of riders would not notice the difference if you were to swap their wheels from 26" to 650B and back and not tell them. It all goes to further my feeling that 26" is a vastly underappreciated wheel size for city, "country", and touring bikes.
