I would suggest you ride both and let the ride decide. I had an R2.5 and had issues and they replaced it with the Carbon Soloist. With is Amazing!!!! Similiar ride as the 2.5 but much stiffer, now the R3 is more similiar to the soloist then the R2.5. I had the option of either and chose the soloist, mainly because I was just weary of another 2.5 type problem and the wafer thin seat stays freaked me out as that was my issue on the R2.5.
Try both and see what you like more. In the end the weight savings were not the different and I wanted a more durable ride.
cheers
