I'd be interested to hear more about a direct comparison to your Honzo. At 7 lbs with a steep STA and short rear end, do you find your Honzo offers much more in the way of additional compliance or vibration damping over the aluminum bike? It sounds like you were quite happy with the ride on on the Chameleon.
I have a Kona Taro (alloy Honzo) with a nice build and I have often wondered if the steel ride of the Honzo warrants the additional 2.5-3 lbs.
