They generally ride worse than non-aero bikes as a result of the tubing profiles. Also likely to have more aggressive geometry as they're supposed to be race bikes. If you're not racing do you need the absolutely minimal wattage saving? I'm an aerogeek but an aero frame is very low down the list of priorities for my road bike.

Remember why you enjoyed your Donhou for this reason.

Myth. Blind bike testing:
"One of the major discoveries was that after controlling for seat post (round post shimmed into aero frame so as to not give it away) not a single rider found the aero road bike to be less comfortable, less compliant, etc, than the identically setup 'endurance' or 'roubaix' bike"

@umop3pisdn @Howard why the "no aero" advice? Genuine question.
