Based on some feedback I've gotten here and over at iBob, I think I'm going to give the BMC the first shot. Reid, you do bring up a good point though-- I noticed some funky/unfamiliar handling with the Monstercross but attributed it to the alt bar setup knowing that the bike was designed for drops (I think). If the BMC is still weird, I'll give the Sam a shot with a ~50-60mm stem.
