While moving from Shimano 105 to Dura Ace saves you less than 500gr for about more than a $1000 difference.
The ssr is a steel track frame (with no fork) and last i checked a tarmac or other "bf approved" carbon cost more than a cfr... you also made no mention of wheel weight and performance, and total weight is not everything.
It doesn't sound like the op is racing. Better wheels and shifters will serve them better than a light frame.
I enjoy my steel bike more than my "light" one
