It's 90% marketing, With good design, you can optimize anything from 3 to 6 stars for any standard of stiffness and strength you want. There will be minor weight and aero trade-offs but not race winning or losing. The final and ultimate solution will not happen until software people can encrypt "bling" into the FEA code.
