Orbea frame cracking problems?

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

Orbea frame cracking problems?

I've got a line on a 2011 Orbea Orca Silver in my size and with the right compact set up. One year old and seems like a good price. I've heard and read great reviews on this bike, except for a few horror stories about frames cracking and delaminating for no apparent reason! This is an online purchase so I'm on my own if there's a problem. Anybody have good, bad, or neutral stories on Orbea? I've always been a Specialized guy and there aren't many people with Orbea's in Rhode Island.
