I have a 2017 Gan S ultegra (rim brakes)... it beats me up a little on long rides because it's more aggressive than my other bike (Spec Roubaix) but I do love riding it. Excel Sports is hawking demo F10s right now if you want to up your budget a bit. I got mine as a last year's model from bikebling in escondido for about 2400 in 2018.
Black though... would probably put me off.
