Squarebody handling vs 88-98 trucks?

So, I'm thinking about a frame swap for my '57. I have seen EZ Chassis sells a kit to put the '57 bodies on 73-87 frames. Today at the Cars & Coffee I saw a guy with a '57 chevy longbed, same as mine, on a GMT-400 frame that had been shortened, and all the mounts had to be fabbed.
Does the GMT-400 stuff handle enough better / offer enough improvement over a square body to warrant the extra trouble? I realize Im' in the wrong forum for an unbiased response but I thought I'd ask anyway
