I chose a 60cm Taiwan Sam over a Waterford Sam because I didn't really like the looks of the undertube. At the time one was able the get a 60 in either configuration. And I actually preferred the sidepull brakes at the time, too. For my use - 99% easy road riding - it works fine. At 235lbs, I feel like it's about as light a "road bike" as I should be on. (cue the chorus of much heavier guys on much lighter bikes to prove me wrong :-) If I were doing a lot of dirt riding or carrying lots of stuff, I'd want the extra support of the undertube and the better braking options of cantis. You're weight's not an issue, though, so I think it's purely an aesthetic and brake-type-preference decision for you.
