If you are flying with your bikes, then the size of the carrier you put them in is probably going to be more critical than the weight of the bike inside it. I cannot say I have ever weighed a carbon steel frame as you describe, but I cannot see the weight being that much different for the same size frame. All that said, if weight is the primary consideration, you need to determine if the 531 will work as a tourer and go from there.
