Virtually everything else I've read indicates the Double Cross frame is a bit better. Supposedly, the tubing and finish is a bit nicer. I'd be curious to hear other comparisons between the two...
I absolutely detest semi-horizontal dropouts.
That was why I went with the DoubleCross instead of the Crosscheck.
