Maybe you need to ride some of these bikes, rather then speculate. Go out to the races. Test ride. Talk to people in the real world. Get some experience. It might take a while to adjust to the society outside of the message board, but it will begin to feel good, honest.
You still haven't answered direct questions. I may not have ridden any of your bikes but I've ridden others and I've never been impressed with that much of a difference. Anyway I do "go out to the races" and I've never seen one of your bikes at a race down here (though I think I've seen one or two in the pnw).
