Tell us how you really feel about it.

The OP asked about changing his bike from 27" to 700c. He got some good answers about the technical pros and cons. He got some good answers about the need for it now vs. desire vs. future considerations, all pertinent to the decision but not necessarily technical in nature. What the industry does or has done and what most cyclists do really don't count for much other than change the availability of tires.
