I appreciate all the help guys.

I will continue reading this site for it has been very educational.

All three bikes are pretty much aluminum frame, sora equipped, carbon fork bikes.

Price is a factor since I really can't go over $600 otherwise, I would consider a Jamis Satellite. I was looking for chromoly's too but in the road bike category, my LBS's only carry aluminums. The closest Supergo is over 50 mi away. Performance is even farther.

I'm guessing that you can negotiate the price since everything is MSRP. That's the experience I've had with cars and guitars anyway. Does this go for LBS's as well?
