Getting back to the subject, though, if a family member asked me which bike he or she should get, I would say I like the Pista for me, but I would recommend the Steamroller for value and the type of handling most people like in a street bike.
In fact, I've seriously considered Steamrollers for my wife and my youngest son.
I would give no consideration to putting my wife on a Pista.
Maybe a Pista for my son.
However, the Steamroller represents a zero gamble for either or both of them.

AND, a Steamroller will run Nokian 106's and fenders.
