While I like the feel of a stiff BB when standing on climbs I don't think there's any actual improvement in performance vs a springier frame.
I liked my original 2006 R3 and I like my 2009 R3SL warranty replacement more.
Good idea but the levers have not moved a lick.
You could be correct about the stiffer bottom bracket. What I could be feeling is simply the bike push forward a little more due to the weight reduction.
