When you get the bike, put it together propoerly, then get on it and ride, and stop obssessing about specs and weight.
A neighborhood has the bike, it has this headset

Specs are important and BD doesn't list them incorrectly (that would be false advertising and they'd be in big trouble).
I own another BD bike and I agree that they are average, but I think they are excellent value for money
