Reasons why I like SS over fixed
No pedal strike on corners or kerbs
You can eliminate toe overlap by leaving your foot back when taking a sharp turn
Reaching 40mph down a hill by doing nothing except sitting on the saddle has to be one of the most fun things to do on a bike!
(I had thought of about 20 different things when deciding between fixed and ss but can't think of them now)
