Talk me out of buying this Condor Barrachi
I have the Condor Acciaio but have a bit of money saved up for a n+1 ssummer/race bike. I love my Condor and like the way it looks but are there any other bikes that, you think, I should have a look at
Here it is*

I have this, its a fantastic ride and looks great. However my previous bike was a budget one, so hard to compare like with like...
Upgrade the Condor?
I have mine at about 7.5 kg now (possibly less) with SRAM Red, Fulcrum 3 etc.
Or consider the Super Acciaio?
Carbon is nice. Fine. But don't just assume that Carbon will be better.
I had the 2009 Barrachi. It was comfortable, but soggy. If you're doing long rides and don't want to descend, corner or accelerate too fast but want to stay comfy, then it'll be ok. If you want something more precise and nimble, look elsewhere.
Also, it's bloody expensive for a mid-range frame. Got mine in the sales, but even so it was only 100 quid more for the entire bike.
