What was surprising was the amount of people (75%) who voted in favor of the drop down menu as I recall. You may be right about the audience, and certainly I've seen poor results in drop downs in analytics tests I've done. However the sample size (if it's a true fiugure) does seem good.

I was going to say something in my post but decided to hold off hoping someone like you ;-) would come to this conclusion as well. Let me guess, one of them was the navigation the roll over versus the two rows? Don't forget there is always survey bias. Ask yourself who is most likely to have taken this research. Is it designers and technical folk or people like you and me. Don’t think you chose the wrong one just because you didn’t vote with the majority.
