If you're riding A rides and hanging with the big boys, it depends on the roads you're riding. Lots of flat'ish roads or lots of climbing? When I was riding in NJ, I had two bikes. One bike with super stiff frame and rims for the hills and one, a little more supple frame with medium dish CF rims for fast rides on flat/rolling terrain.

I ended up with the Roubaix
I ended up with the Roubaix. I didn't really get the 2018 model to improve speed, had lots of issues with the 06 and didn't feel like investing more in it. Maybe I will look at some fancy wheels after a while. Thanks for all of your inputs.

I just did another 106 miles on my 2018 Roubaix today. If weather is acceptable Friday-pm/Saturday-am, I might go for another 200 miler like 2 weeks ago.
