Easy, the $600 alu frame with carbon fork is going to weigh somewhere in the 20 lbs range, a $10k bike is going to weigh about 16 pounds. 4-5 pounds difference will make no appreciable difference in a group and no apprecdiable difference in a time trial. Aero makes the biggest difference, not weight.
