Time to upgrade?

I bought a replacement trek 1.1 less than a month ago and I have been riding a lot. I'm starting to hate the thumb shifters, the crappy breaks, and the low end 2300 components which don't shift smooth at all. I have a full time job now so I can drop more money in to a new bike. This time I was thinking about switching to a bikesdirect's Gravity Pro30 with Ultegra group set, ZeroLite wheels, Carbon fork and Continental Ultrasport tires.

Should I ride the 1.1 for a few months or should I switch? The Pro30 looks like a really great bike with significantly better parts. $999 for Ultegra, or $959 if I were to buy a new 1.2 with Tiagra. The BD bike looks to be a better deal.
