Yes, I've had, and still have both. It's not the particular steel that matters as much as geometry, and whether you have a carbon fork & other modern features. My Breezer Venturi (which are selling at huge closeout prices now) is modern, with shaped tubes, carbon fork, BB86 bottom bracket, etc. and "D'enlightened" steel, whatever that is.
Before that, I was riding a Fuji Connoisseur, a retro 725 steel frame, with straight steel, threaded fork, longer chainstays- heavier bike with more road buzz, less aggresive handling.
My Bianchi Pista steel is nothing special, but it does have an ovalized down tube, and is stiff, with track geometry. And my 70's Japanese bike boom Zebra has stamped dropouts, sport touring geometry, and though it feels nice & smooth with a carbon fork & seatpost, feels flexy in comparison to all the others.
