Yup Max is a little bit overkill for you IMHO. And the reason Max is still popular is mainly due to nostalgia - images of racing in ParisRoubaix come to mind. I think steel have developed far beyond Max technology.
I'm also quite curious that if you see American framebuilders, they mostly will recommend you a mixture of Zona and Life, very rarely Spirit or multishaped HSS and I don't know why.
