Dig through the threads its been discussed. Of course everyone who races would want a faster bike, but people have different perceptions and aero is just one of them. Comfort, fit, handling stiffness, etc is in some ways in the eye of the beholder.
I'm not even sure how to define comfortable when it comes to bikes, but just like seats, shoes, shorts helmets etc I'm pretty comfortable with assuming that some frames just feel better to one person vs another. That combo of handling, fit, stiffness etc that gives you more a bit more confindence in a tight corner of sprint to go all out.
Look at cars. In the 50s-70s comfort mean trying to make riding in a car like sitting in an easy chair in your living room. It turns out that a lot of people like to have a bit of feedback a bit of noise, a feeling that they are driving. Some prefer the dead silent living room feel. Thats OK, its a hobby, nothing wrong with someone actually enjoying how there bike rides no matter how they define it.

I think this was in response to my post. If not, ignore.
Everyone is assuming that because this is an aero frame that it rides like a TT rig. I can tell you firsthand that it doesn't, and I can compare it against more bikes than most (Pinarello Dogma, Pinarello Prince, Cervelo S3 and S2, Ridley Noah, Blue AC1, Scott Addict R1, Look 595, Look 695, Orbea Ordu, many aluminum frames, and many, many steel frames).
