The Pro is a good bike without a doubt. But, at $1700, there are a lot of other bike options that also come into play. Ask yourself this - what is it about the Pro that I like? Is it the frame, components, wheels, fit or a combination of several things? What about the bike do you think could be improved?
Identify the pros and cons and spend a reasonable amount of time looking to improve the cons. Maybe you can and maybe you can't, but you'll know you made the best decision for you.
