If I have to nitpick, The LT had better BB tolerances (one of the Winow frames, the BB on 1 frame got in too easy compared to the other 3 frames), the Winow seatpost is too thin to house the er9 battery (irrelevant to you, but pretty annoying).
They're all fine though. Havent ridden the Winow ones, but i doubt i could tell the difference. My friends are happy but it's still winter and they havent ridden much. The geometry is a bit more aggressive on the winow, but that's irrelevant to your situation.
They're bomb proof aero frames for c.80kg dudes, basically.

Ended up ordering during the last day of the sale. Opted for custom painting so it will be a bit before I receive the frame. Will post on the build process and result once completed!

BadIdeasMakeGoodStories:
Received yesterday. Overall pretty impressed with the weight and paint job. Definitely better than I could've done myself.

Came with a Profile Design bento box, 43asc clone extensions. Seatpost includes a 10mm thru rail. Basebar was 400mm and appears reversible. Included riser bolts mandate using every riser spacer. Will work out thread pitch and length and update tomorrow when I order extras.

Routing exits bars into the stem then down through the top tube, 3T/Cervelo style.

Maximum seatpost insertion is ~110mm due to the wheel cutout; if your saddle height is <810mm from centre of the BB cutting it down will be mandatory.

BadIdeasMakeGoodStories:
Info for anyone else who may be purchasing. Spacer bolts are M5, I bought sets in 20mm increments from 40-100mm from Bolt Depot for <$10 to play with pad height. I believe the spacers are compatible with the PD A3A riser kit, but have yet to order and check -- still getting other aspects of the fit dialed.


Some niggles:

- the hardware holding the arm rests / clamping the extensions is incredibly soft. I recommend replacing it right away.
- had to sand down the seatpost to allow for movement within the seattube
- bottle cage mounts are too far down the downtube to mount a standard bottle cage. Even with a sideloader the rear wheel cut out is too large to allow the bottle to sit flush. Might be fixed on larger sizes, but if even a 54 is too small I doubt it. Using a Wolftooth B-Rad to move it farther up the downtube for now, and planning to try the Cervelo aero bottle, which looks like it may clear.
- Stem clamps from only one side and has a weak hold on the steerer. Needs to be torqued to 6-7Nm or it still wants to turn. Going to try adding some carbon paste and see if that helps.
