I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the Beta AR. However, I am undecided about size - medium or large? I am 5'5", 165 lbs. I intend to use as a stand alone and as outer layering in combination with non-bulky fleece or synthetic vest (ie TNF Redpoint) for alpine hiking/trekking. Any thoughts is much appreciated.

I am 5'9 and 180lbs and find plenty of room to layer with my small Beta AR (2007). I maxed out my layering with Patagonia Cap 2 and North face SDS 1/4 Zip in 0F and ~50mph winds and still stayed comfortable climbing. If I need more layering its because I am in a sleeping bag.

I am 5'6" 155lbs and the medium is perfect. Good room for a north face redpoint underneath and not too baggy with just a t shirt!

You would be best suited in the Medium, and that will give you room to layer. You could even consider a small depending on your chest diameter. Check the size chart above to be sure.
