the 2015 will not let you do anything that the 2014 wont and you will have to wait a long time for the 2015 to go on sale, ESPECIALLY with the 5800.
1,700 for an evo is a great price and to me, having 1 more cog and a little smoother shifting is not worth the wait nor the difference in price, not to mention for the price of a 2015 you can get a 2014 and a have money toward a nice wheel set/better computer/clothing/etc.
As far as the caad10, I love mine. The benefits of the non-hm evo over the caad10 is not worth the price difference, in my opinion. If you can find a good deal on a caad10 (and since you said evos are 1700 I am going to say 1100/1200 for a caad10) I would hop on it and throw on a carbon cockpit and seatpost.
but those are my views, if I found a SS or SSE for the right price (lets say 1500) when i was looking for a bike, I would have picked it up over the caad10. My area is a rich area and I am not rich so i didnt find any good deals on SS or SSE
But I am still perfectly happy on the caad10.
