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?

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?
