the r's are the same on the sl3 and sl4, s-works is 11r. I can attest the difference between 10r and 11r is mostly weight
i suspect a lot has happened to the roubaix (manufacturing). The 2011 sl2's was a trickle down from 2010 s-works. Then mid year, sl3 hits the road. The sworks being 11r and BB30. 2012 arrives SL4, and SL2 is still rolling.
IMO this could mean speacialized is moving to a different manufacturing model, fast redesign.
