For 2014 Shimano is coming out with a BB30 version of their cranks.
BB30 was a marketing ploy from Cannondale, and it took. When the industry went that way, Specialized had to follow. Shimano has no choice at this point since they don't make bikes and the whole adapter thing has become crazy. Now, Trek has a BB86.5 on their cyclocross bikes, what the heck is that?
I am glad you are happy with your choice. I am happy with mine. My next bike is going to be a custom Ti bike with an English bracket.
