I test rode a lot of high end bikes and got the Cervelo R3. I suggest you test ride different bikes and see what works for you. Have an LBS set up a Ti and CF bike in the same price class with the same wheelset and ride them. Actually, I used my own wheelset for the demos to take that variable out of the equation. At the high end Ti and CF price points, the differences blur. I would keep an open objective mind. Have fun.
