I have two road bikes, one a top-of the-line ISP race frame, one a standard mid-range carbon offering. One is most definitely more comfortable than the other, yes, but neither are *too *harsh. In my opinion there is no such thing as 'too harsh'. I commuted long distance for years on a stiff alu track frame with stiff alu deep section wheels, and yes it was harsh, but it was well within acceptable limits, etc etc etc.
My point really being: just because someone on the internet says it's too harsh doesn't mean you won't enjoy wringing every last bit of fun out of throwing it around.
