Well, one reason why you might consider a conversion inferior, that i didn't see mentioned above is the BB height. A Track bike with a high BB will be easier to pedal fast through corners than most road bike frames with lower BB's.

Not necessarily a reason to be snooty against conversions, but one reason you might prefer a frame that was designed to be a fixed gear.
