Maybe not representative enough?
I know weight doesn't tell the whole story, but SP and SPX are pretty heavy frames and are suited for large framed bikes. They are "superbutted", so I'm guessing they are built with stiffness in mind. Their weight is right up there with Chromoly or Columbus Aelle. Columbus SL on the other hand is light and very racy, so that frame would more likely give you the magic that people seem to feel with Columbus steel frames.
Hope I'm not coming off as a frame expert, because I'm not. There are a million frames out there that I've never ridden. I'm just stating what I've read and heard. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!( nicely though!)

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"
Bikes: to many to list
