But what you just said about later upgrading to a more serious carbon frame has got me thinking if I should get aluminum and then later on get a better CF frame...
I kind of figured that (that you hadn't made a choice yet).
I wouldn't talk you out of the SuperSix, but warning:
if you upgrade later, there's not much upgrade from a SuperSix to a HiMod.
I'd go CAAD10 first, because you can always keep it when you upgrade.
You'd probably get ride of the SuperSix if you went with a HiMod caliber bike.
But ultimately, only you know what you'd do.

I love Treks, but the CDale SS is a much better bike in my opinion.
Ride the CAAD10, the SuperSix 5, the Madone, and any other bike you can.
Pick the one that fits best and makes you smile the hardest in your price range.
