I'm with Vik- steeper ST angles don't do much for me. I've had some injuries over the years (e.g. torn labrum in hip) and have recently (re)discovered that there's a fairly limited range of body positions that work for me. Both my bikes have slacker ST angles to begin with and I run offset dropper posts to get a position that works for me.
I enjoyed reading this piece though- thanks for putting together such a thoughtful conversation on the topic!
