What are some advantages of getting a "drop deck" vs a (standard style) "cruiser" longboard?

Ok, get about a 36-38 inch deck that's not dropped (dropped means less carviness) some Paris 180 trucks with Venom SHR Supercarve bushings and Sector 9 Race Formula wheels (70mm 78a) for a sick setup that will definitely carve the hell out of you and won't lose traction. Perfect for campus cruising.
