Looking at a new frame - DeRosa King, Super 6, Prince, or 586

I'm currently riding a 2006 Specialized Roubaix Expert frame. It's been great, and I've got no specific complaints with it, but an unexpectedly good tax return has me contemplating a new frame. (I'm very happy with my components and wheels and will be transferring them to the new frame.)

I went into my LBS, and for the price point I mentioned (< $5k), here are the ones they recommended based on what they carry. This LBS has treated me very well, so I'd really like to buy the frame from them:

DeRosa King
Cannondale Super 6
Pinnarello Prince
Look 586 (they don't stock this, but can order it.)

I'll be bringing my bike in this week to get geometries and see which one is likely to fit me the best depending on sizes offered and the like.

I don't race, but do ride a fair bit year round (100 - 200 miles/week usually.)

Anyone have any suggestions or things to look out for in particular?

Thanks!
