Need advice on a prospective bike! 06' Lemond Croix de Fer

So I am thinking of upgrading from my 2010 Trek 1.2 with Sora Components and a SUPER light aluminum frame
to a 05' Lemond Croix de Fer with the components listed below which blow my Sora components away but!
my problem is that it has a STEEL frame. I have read post saying that steel frames are much more comfortable
but I can care less about comfort, I just want speed! Advice anyone? Is steel of the past, are we in a time of
aluminum?
