^ Exactly! "Lighter" does not necessarily mean "better": a heavier frame will have a more planted feel on the road and smooth out the ride.
My daily ride is 531ST and the "fast" bike is Columbus Max: by anyone's standard Max is a better tubeset than ST. However whereas I can ride the 531 bike all day, if I tried the same on the Max I would be exhausted.
