You can't make a comparison between frames and water bottle cages. A steel frame will ride different then a carbon frame, which will ride different than an aluminum frame, etc. When it comes to water bottle cages, their job is to hold a water bottle. Just about every cage, does fine job at doing that. I rock a stainless steel cage on my mountain bike, and a fiberglass one on my roadie. Cheap, gets the job done, QED.
