If you had ever gone down due to pedal strike (I know, stupid, right?) you might feel differently about that. Back when clipless pedals were first coming out, the manufacturers were making a big deal over greater possible lean angle with continuous pedaling. This geometry would set that back a bit.

Lower center of gravity will also affect handling...I just don't know how. If I had to guess, I would say it would be more sluggish, but don't quote me on that.
