One of my local bike shops currently has a BMC Time Machine TM01 with Di2 Ultegra for approx $8,200
Another dealer has the Cervelo P5-6 and Scott Plasma 5 with Di2 Dura Ace for approx $13,600
Neither the Cervelo nor the Scott come with the Ultegra groupset. Is it worth paying the extra for the Dura Ace over the Ultegra?
I know the BMC frame is slightly older and arguably not as fast as the two newer frames but it is still a very impressive piece of equipment at that price that has most if not all of the same features as the other bikes (e.g. integrated brakes). Given the amount of cycling I am doing and the level I am at the Ultegra is perfectly acceptable to me and in my opinion almost as good as the Duraace anyway. Personally I feel that the gains aren't there to go for the Cervelo or the Scott over the BMC.
What does everyone else think?
