Depends what he wanted. From memory the steel frame will be heavier by more than the groupset will be lighter. If that was important it's not exactly perfect. But yeah, a bike in the hand and all that...
To be fair the 725 was the one I nearly went for initially.
I Had posted earlier the weight specs I got off Ribble and (IIRC) the 725 was in front (lighter).
I should have maybe haggled for a proper upgrade with the SL.
