What makes that better than a steel bike, like a Fairlight Strael? Weight? - which I think is the stupidest thing to consider as it represents a fraction of the overall weight of the cycling unit.
If it is weight, the BMC is about 8.82 kg listed (~19.5 lbs). A comparable steel bike, such as the Fairlight Strael, would be around the exact same, cost around $3000 and come with an Ultegra groupset.
I would make the argument that the steel bike would be a much more robust tool that would be easier to live with.
