It's not necessarily the handling, but if you're having to drop stuff below the front end of the bike you can run into other issues - especially with all the shit hanging off my bars (aerobars, lights, USB charging, etc). It also makes for a more aero setup. It just makes more sense to me to get the frame right so I don't need any problem solver stem arrangements. My warranty frame is already in that boat being >30mm too high. It's going to be flogged to death as a winter trainer though so I'm not too fussed.
