Intrigued by the Turbo Levo SL alloy. But does the extra weight of the alloy version defeat the purpose of the SL?

Getting close to FF if you factor in a range extender. Which you will probably need if riding with others on FF or Orbea Rise power bikes.
I had a Kenevo SL which was great on my own, but I was always working the hardest when out with my riding buddies.
Now on a Levo and love it.
 
Also, if your a big lad, the alloy frames have a higher system weight rating
 
As @michael_bc showed, the weight difference isn't as much as you'd flagged (you can't compare the comp alloy with the S-works carbon!).
But at the end of the day, the Alloy SL exists because it provides a lower entry price into the world of eMTB for Specialized on their SL range. Some people may trade up to the carbon, but for others, the alloy SL will be all they want / need / can justify spending money on.
