Nearly identical geometry as Aspéro so good for racing but include elastomer cushion in front & seat post plus rack & fender mounts.

Want maximum prestige? S-Works Diverges are $9-$10K but have gorgeous graphics plus the cool little storage case above the bottom bracket.

I like the Sport Diverge as I think 105 is great value for money and I'll be swapping out the saddle and seat post anyway so no need for elastomer there.
You can get one for $2800 or less with year end deals. The Diverge also has a shorter top tube than the Aspero for a given size so I can do my usual set up
on a 56cmm model with a 56cm top tube....no need to fiddle with the stem.
