I was at a LBS last year and I rode a Fuji Newest 4.0 and 3.0 - both have Shimano Sora/2200 groups and they were decent bikes but I wanted a better component set. The 4.0 also has a steel fork and seatpost - keep in mind a road bike will transmit any and all imperfections in the road right to you! The 3.0 IIRC has a carbon fiber fork. And the 4.0 uses downtube shifters, I would recommend upgrading to the 3.0 just for the STI shifters and CF fork.

I'd say you would be happier finding a used bike with a better component group or see if a LBS has any older bikes for sale you can probably make him an offer on. I found mine on CL, a lightly used LeMond Reno with a Shimano 105/Tiagra mix. I've put almost 400 miles on it so far.
