The only time I've ever noticed the frame being uncomfortable is over cobbles or hard hits like holes in the road which I usually avoid. I don't race over cobbles so this doesn't bother me. 5-7hour rides are no problem on the TMR01. 99.99% of the time I cant tell a difference in comfort between the TMR01 and my old GF01 (which was made for cobbles!). I believe wheels and tyres are responsible for 90% of the comfort of a bike.
Just sayin
I also have a TMR01 and yes +1 to all of the above, especially on the wheels, tires and seat I might add for comfort of a bike, this has been proven many times.

Or you never change wheelsets. Anyway to DA9000 brakes ( holy graal of brakes, and I'm known for not being Shimano fanboy ! ) bmc brakes has looong way . Power, modulation, ease of adjustmet. Not same ballpark. Not even same city.
Comfort - seriously ??? Really ??? I rode both. You MUST be kidding. Difference is like Mercedes E combi (GF) and BMW M3 ... to be gentle for M3 suspension .
And it's noticeable after 500m not 5 hours...
TMR is known for incredible stiffness and lack of comfort. Comfort is the last thing which you can say about this frame.
Brakes - I do not ever change out from my ZIP 404 wheels, but I could see if you do change wheels a lot it is a bit of added work with the TMR01 so then you might want to go with the TMR02. As far as the Brakes themselves once you get them set up they work great and there are no real issues, unless maybe you are real fussy.
Comfort - Addressed above, but this can really be and endless topic with so many opinions.

I 100% agree with mr4fox. He stated everything that I want to say.
+ TMR01 would be a classic of aero frames
It just my opinion;)

Looks - I get so many compliments on my TMR01, its an added reason I smile with every ride.

I have 25mm gp4000 ii on it right now and there isnt much more for anything else, I ride a 49, but maybe a bigger frame could do bigger tires...not sure about widest wheel width, I have the Eastons on it now 22mm wide i believe, and it could fit wider, but dont quote me on that!
Hope this helps!
Wheels / Tires - I'm on ZIPP Firecrest 404 and Continental 4000 25mm tubular tires. There is room to go with a wider set up but not much taller.

Last year I bought a Dealer demo TMR01 Ultegra Di2 with a Compact crank for $2000 - So yes to a compact crank and there are good deals to be found. The below is an example .......
