I can sympathize with your concerns. I'm 6'3" tall and have a 34" inside leg. I'm definately of the opinion that 650c wheels are heading the way of the Dodo, Mammoth and Jim Davidson. I am with the experts, and am a little surprised that they suggested a 650 solution for you. The frame can b built to suit your bodies, and the stem length / seat position are both adjustable by you, to give you the fine tuning. Another thing to consider is when you finally get to selling your bike on to get another, if you decide to one day. You will find it very hard to shift 650 wheels. You might try shopping around more to see what else is out there in terms of bike builders. My main bike was built for me around a 61cm Ridley Gladius frame. My second bike is a 59 Ridley Pegasus. Stem lengths/seat positions are what I used to fine tune. I know it's slightly different for ladies, but I'm convinced that you can be fitted to a 700c wheelset setup. You don't sound like a couple of circus freaks, so I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck ladies, let us know how it goes.
