There is always some variation from part to part. So ft ders have slight cage width/contour differences. Crank spiders and rings have C-C and wobble differences. But the general feel and responsiveness should be VERY similar between the same speced bikes.
I am sensitive to these aspects too and have taken a lot of time and $ to have my bikes set up as much the same in key areas as possible. But each bike has it's personality too. This is not bad but just the way it is. Andy.
