Lighter just feels better. I couldn't win the TdF on anything, so ride experience is probably the #1 thing for me. If I don't enjoy the ride, I'm less inclined to ride. I have a feeling most of us normals feel that way. But I understand that these new bikes can be fun to ride even if they're heavier, I just haven't experienced that yet.
