Trail, rake, rake, flop etc.

Below are a couple of calculations from Trail Calculator showing different frame geometries but with the same trail, are theses bikes going to handle/steer pretty much the same? This questions assumes all other aspects of frame geometry are the same, except of course for tt length which has to be different to accommodate ht angle change. Wheel flop differs by 3mm but from my understanding of wheel flop it mostly occurs at low(er) speeds and being only 3mm different seems negligible. I'd appreciate any input on this subject.

thanks, Brian

oops, title should have ht angle in place of one of the rakes
