I currently ride a shiv and if I were to get a new bike today I think this would be it. I use the bladder in the shiv for storing calories and 1 BTA water bottle to swap on course. I feel this is an extremely aerodynamic setup compared to almost anything else.
I like the nose cone storage idea even more than the fuelselage (bladder), the brakes look better than the shiv (they are a pain to adjust and often end up rubbing). The only thing is that a BTA bottle might not be an option on the plasma 5 if you want access to the re-fill port, but I would be fine covering that up with a water bottle since I never plan on refilling there.
The only thing I would want to get comfortable with is how very hard, gusty crosswinds might affect you with that big sail of a nose-cone. I bet it's probably fine if your used to deep front wheels.
