  1. I have heard/read all the bebfits of these style of frame:

    stiffness comfort weight savings etc

    but do they really save weight and offer greater stiffness if you have
    to use a longer seatpost which must make for the difference in weight
    and offer flex as well (especially carbon/Ti posts)

    Does anyone regularly ride both styles?

    There should be a wealth of discussion about this topic online..

    Search through rec.bicycles.tech and .racing on google for compact
    versus traditional geometry.
