Thomspins - there are a lot of good Cannondale deals out there. I speak from the UK side only.
I think Gemini's are not an option (too recent to market, prices still high, etc). I've noticed the Jekyll's are down in price. Not sure if you'd get much of a Cannondale for 1000 smackeroos. But whatever you go for, there is a lot going for you. You have the bucks, and there's a lot of shops who are happy to talk a deal.
