I've had very much the opposite experience. My CAAD10 feels faster than my Evo himod, on any terrain, but the numbers don't lie, and they're pretty much tied. Fwiw, the Evo is a good kilo lighter. I'm not fortunate enough that I can afford to race on my Evo, it's my luxury Sunday bike. For Hill climbing, I'm using an old steel fixie, my time trial bike with different gears. If you're racing hills, it's the way to go. For a general purpose climbing bike, anything will do, just sort your position and work on cardio.
