Whats not to like, the 21 pounds too heavy for you? Eat less!
Only con I can offer is the shifters are stiff and could be improved upon. Dropbars are over-rated. Unless you are a serious racer I would bet you spend less than 30% of the ride in the drops.
Just my opinion.
It has been 16 years since the original poster asked his question. I think that he has probably figured it out by now.
