In general I think bikes these days are too high in the BB. Even when I used toe clips, my bikes were much lower slung. My rando bike has a BB about 1" lower than my old road bike, and 2" lower than my MTB. I find it distinctly easier to start and stop with the lower BB. Once riding, not much difference.

I sometimes think of putting 27.5" wheels on my 29" just to lower the BB. Not seriously.

So, all things being equal...
