Describe these geo differences...plus, tell me about the Allied Able

I have a potential temptation on an Able frame.

The 3T and the Look are a bikes I own/owned, both that I find very comfortable.

How would the Allied compare? To me all of these numbers look very similar except for the Reach difference. But, I don't know what differences a degree here or there really make. My gut feeling is that they are all close enough to be within tweaking range of each other, and therefore I'd like the Able just fine. I assume that the 100mm vs 90mm stems account for most of the difference.

I can't test ride it because it's just a frame.

I always learn things from this crowd that I'd never have considered or known, so...help?

Any thoughts on the Able in general are also appreciated. I sure ask a lot of you.

Thank you.

After find out that a bike fits me, I compare it's trail, wheelbase, BB drop, and chainstay length to get a sense of how the bike will handle. The trail and wheelbase are missing in your table.

Lastly, if the trail of 72 for the Look is correct, that is a very high trail (for my liking) even for a gravel bike.
