Those things make a difference when you're off road. Stack is about the same, but the reach on the Scott is 20mm longer, so you'll be a lil lower being stretched out, it's meant for racing.

Splitting hairs. Unnoticeable difference. And reach can be adjusted with stem length.
Having done a few gravel races myself...I think these gravel bikes with ~71 degree HTA are too steep. I think Fezzari nailed the correct HTA at 68.9.
