I agree it makes it easy to decide when you use it. I am 5'8", short legs and long waisted and I got a Fuel EX WSD. I test rode it and it's what feels good to the rider. There was a woman who was shorter and she liked the man's version better. And I rode with Sue Haywood this past weekend and she also rode the WSD(for the first time)...she was just a little shorter than me and she also liked the shorter top tube(she races with a man's Fuel). So, you can't just say I want a WSD or not, it has to be what you like and feel comfortable on. By the way, I was a t a women's camp and Sue was there, I was learning from her.
