I shopped that bike last winter at my local Specialized dealer. It's a good bike but too small for me... (all Specialized bikes are too small for me at 61cm max.) The bike was going for $2100 on the showroom. It didn't have eyelets for fenders or a rack, but I found it interesting that they were displaying it in the showroom window with a Topeak RX BeamRack with side frame and panniers on it.
You can make anything work for your commute, but I would think a bike of this quality would pull you in deeper with weekend rides if you change the tires out to slicks, or cyclocross racing if you leave the stock tires on.
Either way, I think the final price will end up close to a grand easy.
