What grades are they? Most of those brands use in-house terminology iirc to differentiate the tiers, which make it very hard to compare properly across the market.

caad12 is good alu, caad13 not so much.
mainly just the welds though. -
Hopefully this works……

Had originally poo-poo'd this ranking (sorry @amey!), but having now switched to an ALR, can confirm it is noticeably 'better' than the outgoing Arkose. It's lighter for a start and I'd say it rides somewhere in between the Arkose and the Bokeh.
