one other factor worth considering is the drop-outs. if the stays taper down to nothing around the rear wheel save a piece of stamped aluminum a fixed to the seatstays via an m4 bolt the fatest chainstays in the world aren't going to be any better than anything else. part of what makes a pegoretti or a serotta legend ti such wonderful bikes while cornering hard and descending fast is the meaty drop-outs.
in the mountain bike world through-axles are employed to stiffen up the rear ends on downhill and freeride bikes for the same reason.
