Scott,
Aikido won't be frustrating for you, since size doen't matter at all. I mean really, I'm 1.65 meters tall and can perfectly practice with guys from 1.20 to 1.95. Sorry I don't know the "feet tall" system, but a 1.95 m. person is VERY tall.
You don't need to be strong or tall or big to apply a pin or throw someone, that's the interesting thing about Aikido. You said you like meditation: you will like Aikido.
I've personally practiced Karate and I can tell you, Aikido is way better and efficient.
