I'm not a serious gung-ho road biker (I like mtn biking a lot more), but want to do lotoja this year. I have an older specialized (aluminum) and want to upgrade to a fully carbon bike. I found a kestral that seems like a good deal:

It is fully carbon except the wheel set which I am okay with.
It's only 2 1/2 lbs lighter than my old bike. While it's not crazy expensive, $1400, is it worth the lighter weight for a longer ride? it's got ultegra comps, so it's seems to be a pretty good bike.
TIA.
