I would look seriously at both. What do you weigh? Are you a weight weenie????
I ride the Kredo, not ultra 2006. Stiff as my old Cannondale and an excellent carbon frame for a masher like myself. I would not chase the lightweight KOM for fear of flex. I got rid of my Colnago c-40 because of the flex in the frame. I am not a spinner, I push bigger gears and like a stiff frame. I cannot imagine any carbon frame stiffer than the Kredo. It matches my Aegis Victory which does not waffle under any load. I removed the Reynolds wheels due to the spoke popping I could create when climbing.
