With regard to your knee pain, it won't be the bike size.
It is most likely foot position with cleats, lots of people get it until they get the cleat position correct.
You say you are swapping the pedals between bikes, but are the bikes set up the same!
If your knee is at a slightly different angle on one bike, that could well be the cause.
Suggest you try riding it with ordinary flat pedals for a while & see if you still get knee pain.

It could also be linked to seat height,if my seat is to low then it can cause pain in the same area, without seeing a piccie of the OP on the bike side on with the pedals at the bottom of the stroke and 3 o clock.
If the basic bike fit is ok then your right in saying it probably is cleat set up.

I'd measured myself up countless times but with my feet in the wrong place so it was always wrong. I think i've got away with it on my Defy as its a lot lighter. Its still not perfect and i do need a bigger bike but its comfortable and in my book thats what counts. Anyway all i need is my Brooks saddle and ready!
