My thoughts exactly.

The Cervelo T3 is a time trial frame. The Planet X isn't as stiff as some the aluminum frames mentioned here. I'd pass on that. I don't know much about the Sonik.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot about the Cervelo T1. I haven't heard anything about it. Could be nice. Check the angles on it.
Of the choices so far, the TK2 is an awesome option, especially because it comes with the Omnium cranks and a decent training wheelset. Keep the Sphinx bars or sell/trade them for some Scattos and you'll be set.
