Questions on relatively inexpensive track bikes

I posted this here, because there are way too many ******* in the FG/SS forum. What I want is a frame with a true track geometry that is relatively inexpensive. To me, relatively inexpensive is the Fuji Track or the Soma Rush or the like. The upper price range is more along the lines of the Felt TK2. I have a conversion fixie, but I'm looking to get something with a higher bottom bracket and the same short wheelbase. Looking at the geometries, the Soma Rush has the same basic geometry as the Fuji Track.

The Fuji and Soma have a 58 mm bottom bracket drop, while the Felt has a 45 mm drop. Is the 58 mm drop more along the lines of that of a road bike, or is it still a good bit higher? The Fuji Track Pro has a 50 mm drop.

I guess this is more a question of opinion, but I'd rather get it from people who actually race on a track.
