I am confused. You were asking about “bikes” - which is generally understood to mean complete bikes - and now you are just interested in comparing frames?
Yes, in the world of frames, 2 pounds is a pretty big difference. But in the context of complete bike weight, it’s really not.
But again, it is more than just weight that makes one frame more expensive than another.
And BTW, whether you are talking about frames or forks, more expensive and “better” does not always mean lighter.
