Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Where are you looking? I'm in Dallas and I just purchased a CAAD9 Optimo 2 with full Ultegra for $1500. The bikes that you have listed are 105's for the same price.

I just went through this two weeks ago and found that it came down to the test drive. Ask you LBS if you can take the bike on a longer ride to test it out. I was able to take the bikes for a two mile ride to get the feel. If they want to sell it, they should let you actually ride it first..
