After riding nothing but double butted steel for ever, I no longer believe that late 80s - 90s aluminium racing frames cannot give as much as they receive. This, after putting a bunch of miles on ‘86 and ‘92 Cannondale race bikes. With respect to oversized double butted steel, my 2011 Richard Sachs has a ride described by any lovely sounding French and Italian word you can think of depending on how I choose to ride on any particular day.
