The geometry on my Prestige is between a taught, quick criterium feel, and a slightly relaxed sportive all day.

My Medici Pro Strada has a quicker feel, its steering is fast, precise and needs your attention/hands in place, the Prestige can be ridden for miles hands free and using body lean to steer. Very stable and no twitchiness at all.
I would need to measure the angles of the seat and head tubes of both, I got them as well used frame/fork sets and built both up to suit my taste.I presume that both are standard, off the shelf builds, and were not anything custom, bespoke or unique.
