Well yes there is that :) .....but that's the difference between a £2200 frame and one costing a third of that. Of course you have to be careful what you buy...that's where the effort come in.
There's also deals to be done on new 2014/5 framesets if you look around regularly.
Pauls Cycles in Norfolk is always worth a look.
Until very recently a 2015 team evo hm frameset 58cm was available for £750...absolute bargain.
56cm still available

You'd get a full warranty with that and some token shop support - which is why it is such an amazing deal.
All things equal I'd strongly recommend going alu and have full warranty and support than try to find a used evo. The Evo just isn't that much better. But it depends what you are doing with it. Sunday best then maybe it doesn't matter so much. Crit racing...well. Another matter.
I suspect the paint choices would sway a decision somewhat, too :)

Yeahbut then you have no warranty or amnesty options should said frame break.
Appreciate that might not matter to some people
