Carbon frame - 105 - who 'needs' more than that.
Personally cycling keeps my head straight - my weight under control, - therefore I can justify throw a little (or maybe a lot,) more than I need to spend.
It's only a waste if it sits in your garage gathering dust.
For weight control a much heavier steel frame would help more, and if it was also very noodly it would improve core strength too with you fighting its gyrations 😉
105 and Ti would be (is) my ideal, though my carbon bike is lighter it is very delicate (the finish coat gel/paint/varnish) and not exactly eco.
