Specialized Aethos as a Race bike

Did you make a decision here? So torn as I’ve seen so many contrasting opinions between the aethos being the best bike ever and vastly overrated… I have a sl7 but I want to keep it setup and prepped for racing and as it’s a special model wanted to keep it more for summer riding. All I’m interested in is racing up to like 100 miles and after a winter everyday training bike, just not sure whether to get another sl7 so I can mimic exact setups or try the aethos, just seen a lot about it being a bit overrated
