Apart from the paintjob(s), is their any difference between the Klein Attitude frame and Trek's ZR9000 (used on their 8000 and 8500 bikes)? I did notice that Klein has what they call 'gradient chainstays', 'void free' welds and internal cable routing, whereas Trek doesn't? (Hey, that's kinda like answering my own question).

You're paying more for the Klein, so of course they have to add a few features to differentiate them between the standard Trek frame. Personally I think the Klein is a LOT nicer and has a much nicer paintjob. Might as well splurge and go with the Klein over the Trek.
