I'd say yes, wasn't sure out of the box but as they've bedded in yes they have a better feel, more confidence on those fast downhill bits and yes they are a little lighter, but only grams.
Got mine from Merlin, £64.95, free delivery, still in stock:

In reply to your points, in order
1. Thanks, very kind.
2. Yes, I do have a few quid into it.
3. The bottle isn't ideal, I'm looking for something a bit better
4. No, not really, it's far faster than anything else I've owned.

Thought it might be - these Chinese frames are really good - had a good look at GB155's bike in the flesh.

They are indeed.. quality is all there.. the fit and finish on this one has amazed me. You've got to hand it to them really, I've owned some top shelf bikes, and never had one which I can say arrived any more well thought out, or with higher finish quality than this.
I've not seen GB155's bike.. is there a pic of it around?
yes indeed, the world is changing..

Its been a while since i've posted on CC but I've just brought a carbon bike so thought i'd post some pictures of the plastic fantastic Orbea Onix. The 1st picture was as brought on Tuesday this week:
2nd image is as finished today, I have moved my good wheels (Kysirium Equipe) and bar (Easton EA70 Wing) from my Thorn Cyclosportif. I also brought a Fizik Aliante saddle to replace the awful one it came with:
