Generally I am just as fast with the Curve as I am with my Speed Pro. The only exception is longer distances and hilly terrain, the speed just gives me a much wider gearing which makes it faster.
The other problem with the Curve is that it is one size fits many, where it is many who are on the shorter end of the sizing spectrum. I'm 5'11" and the Curve is way too short for longer rides.
I do like the design, I just wish they made a stretched out version.
