"*** It's that a plus?

It's a plus only if the components fit you.
I don't think these minor upgrades will push the bike's
value a lot compared w/ the original components.
The pedals allow you to pull up not just push down.
The other changes were to customize the bike to the
previous owner's anatomy, i.e. make it more comfortable.

Some of those items are very expensive, so in the monetary sense, they're definitely upgrades. Just the saddle, stem, seatpost and bars are worth a large chunk of what a whole 7.5 FX costs. They also reduce the bike's weight, which many folks view as an upgrade.

Biking Viking.
Those are all legit upgrades. Whether the bike is a good deal just depends how much he "upgraded" his asking price.
