On the plus side, the gloss might look better in the long run because it's not a pain in the ass to clean.
this is always an interesting point to me, especially coming from an archery background where differences in equipment can be even more pointlessly miniscule than with bikes. While technically true, I believe being really satisfied with what you shoot/ride makes a tangible difference psychologically. The bike may not ride better than another but I certainly ride better (and put up better with minor annoyances) because I love my bike.
