This might be a close runner up to the Pinerello Prince of Spain, this is definately boutique with it's HQ in my home state.

I prefer NDS. The fact that is pisses off the Weeniegentsia on BF is an added bonus.

I concur.
I would like that bike exactly as it is (red color, multiple "Time" decals to make sure everyone knows what type of bike it is, SR11, Boras) just to attract attacks, comments of hate and jealousy, etc; it's so gaudy that is just calls to the poseur in me.
Actually, I'd change a few small things: saddle to a Selle Italia CX Zero, brakes to Zero Gravity Gavitas, KCNC chainring bolts, Tune AC14 skewers, Yokozuna Reaction cables, one-piece Cinellia bar/stem combo, and a gold-colored bell on the bars.

Get both... get all of them... buy all the bikes in the LBS... buy the whole damn store and be done with it.
What does it matter? You're just looking and dreaming. You haven't won the lottery now have you?
If you've got the cash in hand stop looking and test ride them and stop asking the peanut gallery.

And why isn't there an 11/20 cassette anyway?

Those that "dis" Looks most likely haven't ridden one! I believe they are head & shoulders above most other carbon bikes out there...Trek, BMC, BH, Cervelo, Scott, Lemond, Giant to name a few...
They have a very stiff yet comfortable ride... you get superb, race bike handling with amazing road feel...none of this "dead wood, super stiff-but I can't ride it more than an hour" feel from many other brands.

It's been my dream frame since 2007 I manned up this past winter, and bought one nos. I prefer the paint on the older SLC, to the newer bikes. Now that I've been riding it quite a bit, I couldn't be happier. I am contemplating selling the Trek again, I only want to ride the Cervelo anymore.

An honest classification would have been:
Ferrari = exotic
Porsche = sports car
BMW 5 Series = luxury car
G37 = compact car

i'd say a Pegoretti adorned in Campy, a Richard Sachs w/ SRAM Red and a Kirk light touring bike.
