Only SLX (well, and SPX, TSX) has helical ridges in the three main frame tubes, both SL and SLX have helical ridges in the steering tube, quick bit of research I did indicated that alle does not. Alle is a strait gauge non-butted tubing, it should sound noticeably heavier as compared to SL if you tap/ring it in the middle of the tube.
