Mine just has Shimano 105 on it but I did get the Cannondale SAVE saddlepost (carbon) which was a huge difference in ride comfort (and at first flex) from the alu-minnie-um saddlepost it came with.

I don't think you can go wrong with the frame it's popular for a reason. I have no experience with the new SSE, that has dropped seat stays. I think it still gets good reviews. You getting used or new?
