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

Wheels or Bike

I am in a position right now where for approximately the same price, I can build up a pretty sweet pair of wheels for my current bike, or build a new bike.
Options being:
Edge(ENVE)/Zipp carbon tubulars (that's its own debate in and of itself) for my Super Six
OR
Go through the trouble of tracking down a Cervelo Prodigy/Super Prodigy and build a backup/winter bike, like with 7800
(working in a shop allows these two projects to cost about the same)
Any opinions?
