The anniversary model is what I would call a twixte, on account of it being
betwixt and between a Clementine and a Cheviot.
Awesome if they can pull it off. With two versions now of the gus boots planned
for the fall, and a shipment of clem ls in September and tandems coming
shortlythis might
Looking at the diagram of the anniversary model, the top tubes hit the seat
tube 270mm (=10.6”) above the center of the bottom bracket. You can compare
this dimension to your Clem L to get an idea of the relative lowness of the
top tube. My guess is the Clem is lower.

Well, do you have to choose one or the other?
I’ve ridden a Betty as my main (ok, only) bike since 2012. I love it; it’s
nearly perfect and feels like an extension of my own body. I have a deep
affection for the Betty Foy, but when my mother in law got a Clementine I fell
in love with her bike
Thank you.

Leah Belle Dingaling (I might have the name wrong 😉) will have a direct
comparison, but I'll offer Cheviot v. Clem L..Chev is basically a Betty with
longer stays.
Clem is a slightly stouter/heavier bike with v-brakes, I think of it as the
touring/trail version compared to Chev/Betty road bikes
I have and LOVE my Betty..
But I am considering a Clem.
I commute around town.
What I love about Betty (besides being a beauty) is the ride.
I wonder if anyone has both and can discuss the difference in ride and fit
between the two rides.
The reason I am thinking of Clem is the easier step over
