I preferred the relaxed geometry of the Roubaix vs. the Allez although they both can be set up close to the same. Bike fit is extremely important, especially if you plan on riding more in the future. If the Roubaix is a better fit, and it's in the budget range, I say go for it.

+2 on the Roubaix with a catch.
I'm 235 riding a Roubaix Pro. It rides like a dream. However, I crushed the rear wheel in 5 weeks. Specialized replaced it under warranty. But I'm in the process of replacing the wheels with another set.
Beyond that, it's the most comfy bike I've ever ridden. It absorbs all the shock rolling over bumps and rough patches.
