Interesting you say that. The advantage of the lower BB would be to produce more stack WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF INCREASING THE TOP TUBE LENGTH. But it isn't hard to get a bike with more stack. It is only a problem if you want that extra stack without more reach too. (I should mention it is not as much of a problem these days with endurance geometries.) But if you are going to increase reach at the same time as stack, why not just use a more normal BB height and move up to the next size bike?
