Also, if you get a chance, test the Cervelo S3 if you like to ride fast. Many prefer the S3 over the Cervelo R series bikes because there is little detriment in ride quality relative to the aero advantage of the S...many times not the case with aero bikes. Cervelo did a very good job on the S series.
The Tarmac is a fantastic bike and many consider it the gold standard among race bikes.
I would also consider how long you've been riding. What "fits" now may be too tame in 6 months. I gave myself 3 months of riding a Roubaix and got the tarmac when I wanted to upgrade, not because it fit better than the Roubaix I was currently riding, but because it was the type of bike for the type of riding I really wanted to do. It took probably 3 months of more riding before I got used to the aggressive posture and really started to ride the bike correctly. Then I went in and got a bike fit knowing I would be able to ride the comfortably in any posture.
