Well, a slacker head angle will lead to more trail which should lead to less twitchy handling. Wheel/tire size and fork offset also impact trail. If you have schematics on the bikes, you can compare what the trail would be - there are several bicycle trail calculators on the web. Failing that, yes, you can eyeball them and figure, all other things being equal, the slacker head angle will lead to more stable steering.
