Actually, I had been riding a 03 Allez Comp and just built up an S-Works. The S-works is lighter, but then I added all lighter components. So how much of the difference is just from the frame, I don't know. I noticed a difference riding. From a smoothness standpoint, they seem about the same. The S-Works seems to be more responsive thought. But I haven't had alot of ride time on it yet because Mother Nature's gps is goofed up and she keeps mistaking Socal for Seattle.
At this point, I definitely think it was worth it.
