I am thinking of buying a muni, but not to expensive.
I think I am going for the Nimbus II frame, but should
I take the 24" or the 28", and I think I will take the Kris Holm Velo
Seat, are there a big difference between normal and freestyle? And I
wonder if I can get a long seat-post, because I am pretty long. 190 cm.
From what I’ve gathered, the Nimbus frame is the same as the Yuni (available here in the U.S.) If so and you plan to use a Gazz on the MUni, it will not fit on the 24" frame (the Gazz is too tall), so you may want to opt for at least a 26" frame.

The 24" Nimbus II frame is large enough to accommodate a Halo 24 x 3"
tyre, see the picture of my Max Traction clearance at
<www.xs4all.nl/~klaasbil/nimbusii_clearance.jpg>. On the photo, the
seat post sticks out into the available clearance but that was with an
inappropriate seat (and seat post) - it’s OK now. If you don’t plan on
using a larger than 24" wheel, buy the 24" frame, not the 28" frame -
the extra room is impractical and not a pretty sight too, or so I
think.

For any serious MUni you absolutely need a handle. Either a separate
handle that attaches to your seat post (in which case the freestyle
seat is OK), or a seat handle. I have the KH Velo seat with handle and
happily join the choir of praise.

Unicycle.uk.com has a variety of seat posts - up to even 700 mm I
think. The US affiliation (hehe) will probably carry those too.
