The Madone is somewhere in the middle between a Specialized Roubaix and their Tarmac in terms of comfort vs. aggressiveness. If you go with the Madone, I would ditch the Bont wheelset and get something more durable.

If you're going to do more long distance, I would go for the Roubaix. If you're interested in racing at all, then I'd go for the Madone. Both are awesome bikes, so test ride both (with a good fitting) and it'll be pretty clear which one belongs to you.
