before you all get carried away about scandium it's just a small addition to the aluminium (in the same way chromium/niobium/molybdenum etc are added to steel in small amounts).
traditionally scandium frames were for racing and weren't expected to last forever, i.e. much beyond a few seasons of hard use. metallurgy may have advanced since i read that internet rumour though :-)
Much BS is written about scandium enriched frames. As far as I understand it the scandium reduces grain size, which reduces crystallisation post wielding.
....or something.
Anyway the point being that the scandium does not affect the way the metal feels to ride. But does change the way it can be worked. Which takes us back to geometry, tube dimensions, frame design etc. being the overiding factor with regards to frame 'feel'.
Nearly everything I know about bikes is based on internet BS though. So dont take my word for it ;)
