I have a 57cm Bleriot and a 58cm Rambouillet. They are two different bikes IMO. The Bleriot can handle much wider tires and that gives it an advantage on unpaved surfaces. It has a smoother, more comfortable ride although I attribute most of that to the wider, softer tires. The RAM is a little more responsive. I've never put much of a front load on either so I can't answer that question.
If I could only own one of them, for my type of riding I think I'd pick the Bleriot. Interesting that this question has come up, both bikes have been discontinued for at least five years.
