$2,250.
I'd actually be really interested in how a well sorted Boutique brand would fair against a specc'd up large manufacturer. In the other words, would a 105-based BMC frame go well against an Ultegra-based 905.

Personally I ride a Merida 905 Comp I've been riding it for about 4 months now and feel very comfortable on it, I find I can just get in the zone on this bike and really enjoy the ride.
Of course this is just my opinion based on my choices which suited me, bikes are really a personal item and the three choices you are looking at are solid options so very interested to hear what you decide on.

I'm in North QLD and the bike shops here don't mark down prices much, largely due to lack of competition. Also a long drive for weekend in Brissy!
Cheers
Where are you based?

How's the cube going? I'm thinking of getting one too - I hear they're good for the price tag.
