Is the Orbea just the frame and fork? you said the "whole rig"..... Orbeas are really nice, very OCP, but common.... I have never seen a Blue on the road... they too are also really nice.
However with your shop sponsoring your team and being a spplier of Orbea I would prolly go with the Orbea. How do the warranties between the two companies compare? Since it is your normal shop maybe they would be willing to work with you if would crash.
All this being said I wouldn't want to race a new Orbea in a Crit. I would just stick with your old frame.
