Here's another possible clincher for the Black Inc. If it's truly a 2013 it should have Di2!!! (Ya, it's 10 spd but who cares.) The 2014 would be SRAM Red and I'd definitely take Di2 over Red.

Check it out & if it looks unabused, I'd go for the Black Inc!
I forgot to mention that the Black inc has no wheels at that price which is fine because I was going to put my Fulcrum 3's on it anyways.

Ya it does have Di2. The bike has been used to showcase the Di2 on a stand for months with no pedals at this bike shop. The chain and cassette are not shiny new as I would of hoped but I was told that it had no outdoor demos as of yet and that a new chain would be thrown in if it was an issue. I am going to take it out for a test ride in the next couple of days. Does it take awhile to fall in love with the Di2 system or will I need a couple of long rides to get a feel if its a fit for me or not?

At the moment I think I would rather spend money on a better frame (not saying the EVO is but if it is I would lean that way) as well as the better crank (Hologram) which is on the new Evo.(. Unfortunately I will not be able to test ride a EVO as they are all out of stock at the moment.

Thanks for the insight from everyone who has posted so far.
