I weigh less than you. I certainly can't notice the difference between riding uphill with two full bottles and two empty ones. That's likely more than the weight difference between the aero an the lightweight bike. The aero bike will benefit you on the flat, over rolling terrain where you can keep you speed up, and downhill. The lightweight bike will benefit you slightly on any decent climbs. By how much? Probably less than you think.
If you like a bit of added comfort the Ultimate is probably the "sensible" choice. I've never been once for sensible though. 😜

My experience was top notch. Even customer service (which many seem to have issue with) was great. They answered my questions via email within 24-48 hours. From order to delivery was under two weeks, with full tracking all the way. Bike arrived and only needed minimal assembly.
