Oh, and I'm not really serious to ride 44/15 all the time. Just want to try and see whether I notice significant difference in speed. I doubt, but why not to try?
My Pista is aluminum, but i did test ride a few steel Pistas before i bought mine, and my girlfriend actually has a Redline 925. I like the Redline and would not consider the Pista Chrome much of an upgrade besides that aesthetically it looks a lot better. Others have stated that the geometry on the 925 is weird but i can't really comment on that since my GF's bike is not my size. If i didn't have any bike i would absolutely choose a Pista Chrome over a 925, but I'm not sure i would switch from a 925 to a Pista Chrome. i feel like the 925 is a good value for what your getting vs. the pista your paying exactly for what your getting.
The one good thing about choosing a Pista Chrome over your other choices tho is that i see chrome Pista's on craigslist all the time. So probably the cheapest to build up if your not looking to switch all the parts.
