Happy EV'ing

...My main concern is the seat height of the DSR.  It is manageable, but I keep thinking the SR is a better fit for me (30” inseam)...

I suggest you ride with some taller boots (same inseam here and rode a DSR). Forestry boots did the trick for me, nothing extreme. I've also heard of good outcomes from changing the seat for a custom (i.e. Corbin) seat.

Congrats on the DSR.
I'm 30" inseam with a 17 DSR.  Mostly a non issue.  When you come to a stop just keep your right foot on the peg and use the rear brake.
Left foot on the ground with a slight bend in the knee, it's rock solid even on up hill stops.
You'll remember to park in spots where you can just pull straight out of soon enough. 
Enjoy.

Thanks, everyone. I’m also 30” inseam and it hasn’t been an issue. I am close to being able to flat foot.  I usually stop with my right foot on the rear brake and left foot flat on the ground. I was mainly concerned with backing out of the driveway what has a good sized gutter.  On the Stelvio I had with a slightly higher seat height, I had trouble with this and dropped the bike once. After that I had to manually push it out into the street then get on it. On the DSR, the seat is low enough and the weight is lower with a low center of gravity that it hasn’t been an issue.  I’m enjoying the DSR a lot and definitely feel like I got the right model.

I reread your OP and that's a great set up.
One thing I would suggest is picking up a Quiq charger.  They cut your charging time in half and some of us have a theory that it helps lengthen the life of the on board charger by sharing the load .  It can also charge the bike by itself if needed.
Glad your enjoying it.
