They may look significantly better, but I'd never buy a Cannondale based on my experience with their reliability. I've been racing a long time and I've seen a lot of defects. Granted, Cannondale puts out far more bikes than BMC, so as a percentage it probably doesn't sound any alarms, but that doesn't make it any less scary.
