Pros and Cons of Aero Bikes (vs. Road Bikes)

I've been trying to find more info about aero road bikes such as the Scott Foil and Specialized Venge, but haven't come across any disadvantages so far. From what I've read, it just sounds like the aero frames are superior to conventional frames, although I did come across that aero frames aren't as light (but don't they basically use the same carbon material?).

Is there any downside to getting a aero based frame over a more conventional road bike? (i.e. Foil vs. Addict)? Is one more comfortable than the other? Better climbing? Less beginner friendly?

Picking a road bike (first one) sure is tough! Or I'm making it more complicated than it should be..
