The Amira isn't unusual, though the model is relatively new - its just a racing bike. Many people equate racing bikes with super aggressive positioning that is uncomfortable.

That is not necessarily true..... if you are flexible enough and have a strong core you may be just fine and comfy on a bike that is less upright.... Some of my races are 100+ miles, so my bike has to be fast and comfortable.... I have the original Ruby (which is less relaxed that the models now, but slightly less aggressive than the Amira) and will likely be getting an Amira frame sometime soon.
