Stack and Reach measurements for MTB frames - are they useful?

Or rather, are they less useful than measuring up for CX / Road, perhaps due to the variances in purpose; XC, Trail, AM, DH etc? Does suspension have any effect...?

BareNecessities in reply to @Howard

Things are certainly more complicated. Bar width varies a lot more on mtbs than on road/cross, which has quite an effect on reach. Geometry changes, due to suspension travel need to be considered too, as they mess about with the stack height.

Stack & reach is still more useful than ETT though.
