The Pinarello GAN models to which I alluded in my OP are sold at the same pricepoint. I can get full Ultegra with caliper brakes on a variant with their "T700" carbon fiber, or an almost identically-outfitted one with disc brakes, but with their slightly heavier "T600" carbon fiber frame (the brakes and wheels might also be adding a little of the extra weight - other components are identical).
