I'm guilty of quite a few of your points on my new bike.
I'm using oversized stainless steel, fillet brazed- I'm hoping that the very-oversized headtube and downtube will result in quite a stiff frame though.
There are no out-right WW parts being used, but equally I have tried to use parts that are lighter if they are available- Ward Ti spindles in the Speedplays for example.
Oh, and I did grab an R1 Arione the other day.
I've gone for Rotor because they are stiff and very flexible in terms of mounting options- BSA or BB30 etc etc.
They are a bit of a default choice I guess, but then what's the alternative?
