I absolutely notice the difference for a road bike with narrow tyres but for sure its not there with large tyres.
I can't see myself getting another aluminium road frame but my aluminium rlt9 even with meagre 35mm tyres has zero issues at all comfort wise.
If you look at the steel alternatives though the Standert I think seems reasonably priced.
I'd be tempted with those colourways but if we're talking 'gravel bikes' then I can't get down with that geometry, headtube is steeper than that on my road bike can't see how that's much fun off road, seatube seems silly steep too, same angle as their crit bike. Can't understand that.
