2009 Raleigh One Way Vs Cross Check

2009 Raleigh One Way geo http://www.raleighusa.com/bikes/road...?page=geometry

Cross Check geo http://www.surlybikes.com/crosscheck.html

Based on just the geometry, the 59 cm for One Way and 58cm for CC, what can one assume about these frames? For example, because of the longer wheel base of the One Way, it's a faster bike right?

Of particular, I'd like to know what the bb drop will tell me. One Way has a bb drop of 55mm vs CC's 66mm. Which one is more comfortable? Better turning? Etc.

Which one has better tubing (520 vs 4130 Cro Mo) ? Stronger?

I saw the One Way recently and fell in love with the color. At first look it is practically a Cross Check. If anyone can educate me it would be greatly appreciated.
