vs

2014 QR Illicito Ultegra for $2999.

The QR is local, whereas I would have to have the Orbea shipped and purchase sight unseen. I know it makes more sense to go check out the QR since I could actually touch it and feel it, but that Orbea is damn sexy.

Well the qr is long/low and the orbea is tall/short iirc so it really depends on the position that works for you go get fitted

Nytro wants the same price for the 2015 CD0.1 Ultegra with cheap wheels as they do for the Orbea (http://www.nytro.com/...h-to-low/perpage/206) and they want $900 more for the CD0.1 with Reynolds wheels. That tells you about all you need to know about value for money assuming both bike fit equally well. In other words it the local QR is the Strike addition its the better value if its got the cheaper RS11 package its a dead heat with the Orbea.

the correct answer is used Cervelo P4 w/ 3T Ventus or TriRig Alpha aerobars.
