Or would you prefer cool lighter wheels. with lesser other stuff.
Again, looks are the issue for me
I disagree. You have to keep in mind that not all bikes have the same geometry. For example, the Trek TTX bikes are meant to be ridden more slack than the Cervelo or QR bikes. If slack is what you want, the Trek, or perhaps a brand like Scott or Planet X is better. If you ride steep, QR or Cervelo will be much better.
