I am looking at building up a steel frame bike shortly. Given my price range I have been looking at both the Torelli Corsa Strada and Gunnar Roadie frames. Both are in the $800-1,000 range.

My question is whether or not the slope of the tob tube on the Gunnar would be a disadvantage, or advantage, over the horizontal top tube on the Torelli? Assuming both could work for me fit wise is one necessarily better than the other?
