You never notice these things untill you upgrade. I found the idea that I could flex a Deore square taper BB + crankset laughable. Untill I upgraded to the External BB, and felt the improvement.
I'm pretty stocky up top, and throw the bike from side to side like an idiot with no finese, that spent too much time BMX'n as a lad. So the one thing which made me pause before bying the BMC. Was the lack of tapered headtube. TBH it does actually feel super solid. So maybe if your steerer is only 15cm long its imaterial.
