Your pedaling position is way forward on those things too though. They got rid of the dumb real seat tube angles that happened when everyone went to bigger wheels. The increased front wheel weight should help.
I'm with you for different reasons though. I think some lower speed snappiness is going to be lost but more due to the fork offset changes and wheelbase lengths. I've talked to a few people who have ridden their test mule/figure it out bikes and they seemed to like them.
But generally speaking a 64-65 deg short travel bike is something I've wanted for a long time. Travel aside, that's just good high speed handlin'
