Medium is the best. I'm 5'4 and I have both. Jumbo is really too big for me but I use it if I have a lot of stuff and always use 2 straps, can't use 1 strap because it's too long. Good luck with your decision. 
I thought it had a recent price increase, there is a thread on it ... Price increase
My personal preference is medium. This, because it's more versatile than the jumbo. It goes from day to night more easily because of the size and honestly? I find that this makes it a little more special. It may not be ideal for everyday but I don't wear mine as an everyday bag. I rather save it for going out or other more special occasions. Besides, the times I tried on the jumbo I found it so, so heavy I swear just trying it on was making my lumbago even worse, lol! And also, carrying a Chanel bag everyday on the subway makes me super nervous. So I love having my m/l with me for going out to dinner, weddings, movies and whatnot. It makes me feel just a little more special, if that makes any sense!
I think you may be happier with a medium, it can be used day or evening!
If its not going to be your bag for everyday, I suggest lamb...so much prettier IMO!
Of those two, the medium, especially with you're height and the fact that it won't be an everyday bag. If you find the medium is too small, try the Reissue 226. It's also classic and is right in between the m/l and the jumbo in size.
So, I'm in Honolulu and was planning on buying this bag - SOLD out at both stores! So then, I called my Houston Neiman Marcus and the Chanel boutique in Houston to see if they would have it - both are also sold out! Is this bag that impossible to find???? Is the small size too small???
Well, they usually do sell very fast. What color/HW are you looking for?
I was at boutique at Tysons Galleria VA week ago and they had black caviar SHW, beige caviar GHW...

You should also try the department stores, such as Saks, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Hirshleifers, etc. and for the major ones, ask them to check stock system wide. I'm sure you can find your M/L; don't give up with one day looking!
I hope you found a great looking M/L today, or at least got to try the bag on so you know it's the size for you! I personally love the M/L and lambskin is really not that difficult to care for and looks gorgeous!
