I test rode the Team alu. and liked it, as it had a lot of pep and was pretty stiff so accelerating was fun.
I really liked it too when I took a test ride, despite the crappy shimano wh-r550 wheels that were on it. It felt very "snappy" if that makes sense compared to my Scott S20. I probably would have bought one if they had one in my size (I test rode a 56, and I fit better on 58s)...and they still came in anodized black.
