There's always an argument to be made for things that are merely "Really Good!" over things that are "Really, REALLY Good!!!". Mostly these revolve around affordability vs diminishing returns. But, you know, some people DO have the money to burn, and can, or think they can, feel the difference. If you have the money to buy a Specialized Aethos or similar, why not?
