I am thinking about getting an Orbea Ora or an Orbea Ordu. The price difference is about $800 according to the website and the weight difference is 145 grams.
The Ordu is 75% M30S F1 High Mod Carbon Fiber
25% T700S Medium Mod Carbon Fiber
The Ora is 80% T700S Medium Mod
20% M30S F1 High Mod
The Orca has a carbon weeve while the Ora is all painted. What is the difference between the fibers and is the upgrade to the Ordu worth it? Also anybody have one of these bikes and what are your opinions on them.
I have the ordo I love it. I’d say if you get an oipportunity to test ride both rest them, on a not so smooth road, if you can feel a difference, that will answer your questions…for me, the roads I ride on are all pretty crappy, so the ordu was a great choice.

See above link to compare the fibers. Basically, the more expensive frame uses stronger, tougher fibers, which cost more to get the same strength for less weight. Using different fibers in the same mold can be used to make a frame more plush or racier, so they would need to be riden to determine if this is the case, and if so, which one you prefer.
A weave surface is more expensive than a painted surface. In theory, the weave CF fabric provides a little vibration dampening (doubt anyone could tell the difference), whereas paint is purely an aesthetic.
Is it worth it? - You are the only one who can determine that.
Why is there no comparrison between the two?
Is it stiffer, more comfortable, better steering, etc?
Comparrison is the whole reason that most of us are here.
