Not all steel bikes are heavy. You can build a steel bike that's quite light. So yes... part of the advantage is it is lighter. Carbon also has a different feel, it dampens vibration to a certain extent.
More weight might take more effort to get up to speed, but the more weight the easier it holds that speed.
