What is the actual difference (as a user) between these two frames? I understand that the price, equipment and series of gear components are different, but what about the difference between the frame constructions, is it just cosmetic or will it affect my riding experience?

Wilier Bassano

Rose Pro DX Multicross-2000

https://media1.roseversand.de/product/1850/1/8/1874208_1.jpg

The weight is about the same, the price of the Rose is almost 350$ higher, but then it includes disc brakes, Shimano 105 components all over and the possibility to hand pick each component yourself - but the Bassano bike just looks a bit cooler

The difference is the engine mounts are missing on both.

Except from the seat stay and the top tube, the geometry of the frames look almost identical - am i right?
