I'd say, as with all architecture, it's a matter of personal taste.
One thing I don't like about steep roofs is doing roof maintenance kind of things, if you need to put your body up on the ridgeline for whatever reason, 27' is a long way to fall, especially if you're falling on blue rock. Walking on a 3/12 slope is a breeze compared to extension ladders.
