I've got to agree here with above, given the $500+ difference between the Podium 5 and 6.
Get the 5, sell the wheels for $130 on ebay (with the tires), and get yourself a wheelset in the under 1600 gram area or so, and drop the wire bead Michelin Dynamic tires for some Continental GP 4000S or equivalent for another 160 grams in outer rotating weight savings. All told you'll drop over a pound of rotating mass, dramatically improve the ride for the better, and can spend less than the >$650 difference to do it.
The RS30 wheelset on the Podium 6 is a supposed "step up" and has deeper profile at 30mm, but its still a boat anchor.
