I don't have the experience to have an opinion on T47 - and really, nowhere near enough to **_really_** know what length chainstays I prefer. I've ridden a bunch of bikes with different length stays, but I'd need to be able to compare those changes while everything else was more or less the same - which I certainly have not. I've got an idea on the general trends I _think_ I like, then I go and check the geo chart and realize that my '19 M/L Rootdown has 415mm stays... Same thing with reach - I know what's too short and thought that the 457 on my Rootdown was pretty good, but I've never ridden "too long" - so I don't really know the boundaries of my sweet spot.
I need to get on the reviewer train...
