True about the grain, but most builders build on the cheap and don't even bother with quartersawn. Not even rift. You end up with FC patterns from oak that's just as busy as ash. I guess if I can live with busy grain, or can use it as a design element, ash seems like a good option to oak. Come to think of it, ash might be a good choice where dark dye is used.
