The newer Domanes are heavier than the older ones.
I've got a 2014 with Sram Red eTap22 & Aeolus 3 D3 TLR wheels and it weighs just under 15 lbs with Favro Assioma pedals, RXL cages & a Garmin mount. If I changed the seat & bar/stem to the Emonda SLR seat & integrated bar/stem, put on lightweight tubes & brake cables I could get it down to around 14 lbs.
It climbs really well and is great on long rides & fast group paceline rides.
You could get a used frame & build it up for cheap.
I've almost bid on used ones on eBay to have a backup in case this frame fails.
