Re: the aluminum
"it's better to have a good aluminum bike than a bad carbon bike"
"better than most you will see in the pro peloton"
"when we give the S1 to a pro rider they are absolutely blown away about how good that bike is for that amount of money"

Honestly, I think that if you're going to buy an AL bike, there are two really good ones you can get.
The CAAD9 if you're interested in mostly crits/a few road races, and the S1 if you can have just one bike and you're interested in TT's and long breaks.
The S1 is a little more pricey though, but I would have loved one of those.
Edit: That interview was a little painful...

Well I think that makes it clear that all the other bicycles besides Cervelo suck.

He does a good sales job to be fair.
I came away wanting an S1 rather than the BMC or Cinelli I was going to get...
