i'm wondering what sort of advantage one would have over the other, and what sort of real world difference i could expect to feel on each bike. None. i've heard that the lower the bottom bracket the more stable the ride is, especially when loaded, but is that enough of a reason to choose a bike with a 77mm drop a opposed to 65mm? No.

Answers in quote apply if you are paying for your bike yourself. Of course, if you could tell the difference you wouldn't be asking. Your sponsor would know what bike to give you.
