regarding sloping top tubes, Doesn't anybody else like to rest their backside against the top tube while the group is chatting before or after a ride? Before the carbon craze it seemed like this was a common thing, you set the bike cross wise behind you, tip it a bit, and lean your but back against the top tube as sort of a lean to stool. Very relaxing for lazy people like me who can't be bothered to stand up. But it doesn't work for me with sloping top tubes. The aesthetics don't bother me, but I do miss that stool sometimes so I prefer the horizontal (or 1 to 2 degree) top tubes to the ~6 degree slope. Just another little detail that makes me like the AHH a bit more than the Hillborne.
