Hi mod is lighter...with a little more vertical compliance. I do recall reading somewhere that the 2012 supersix normal was stiffer than the himod, due to the ludicrous amount of carbon everywhere (different mold).
I have one (normal) and it rides like a brick. Can't get it to flex at all. That being said, not many people will be able to tell the difference between the ride quality of a himod and normal, they'll only be able to tell by the weight.
Edit: are you able to test ride both of them?

About 700g vs 950g, more "high modulus" carbon and possibly internal brake cable routing.
New (discounted sale) prices:
SuperSix Evo 105 2014 complete bike about £1000.
SuperSix Hi-Mod frame set only is about £1200.Took the CAAD out today. Still love it and unsure about going down to a 58 with Shimano.

Is there any difference between the hi mod and normal canondale frames - or is it just the weight when they come off the production line?
