The seat angle thing is funny. Unless a brand specifically mentions that they're changing the STA on each frame, or their chart reflects that they are not (like the above), you can never really know if a brand is adjusting the frame slightly to maintain the STA across sizes or if they're just lazy and publishing an inaccurate chart. Now that we have stuff like the impenetrably entitled FAIR Bicycle Drop Best (and it's good), I care less about seat tube angles now than I ever have.
Although seeing as you're our resident giant, I'd have thought you'd have been on board with the size specific seat tube angles if not rear centers.
