The only downside is that such frames are often quite heavy to be durable enough for the sort of use and punishment they typically receive. If you're after a light trail bike it won't be what you want. If that's the case then your last resort is to get as long a fork style frame as you can happily live with and buy such a fork with an uncut steerer and make up the difference with the combination of riser bars, strongly angled stem and more than the normal amount of spacers.
