Welcome to the forums. I've got the component group and it works very well for me. I, too, have it set up with disc brakes but not such a great frame as a CAAD8. I think that bike hits a lot of the right criteria for a great road bike.

I was going to recommend 32-spoke wheels but I see the CAADX comes with them. That ought to help keep your bigness at bay. Haha.
A new Tiagra groupset (4700) was announced yesterday. So, if you're not in a hurry it might make sense to wait till that appears on bikes in the summer or fall.

Sorry, I thought I read CAAD8 Tiagra, but you wrote CAADX.

Wow those are awesome! But I would assume that getting a bike with that new group would run up the price considerably, right?

I not sure. My guess is that there will continue to be pressure on bike retailers to keep prices low. This is, mostly, a sprucing up of the existing, and more than adequate, group.
