Best TT specific frame out there?

I am in the market for a TT specific frame. One that get's me low. I am willing to lose a little in comfort to get more aero.

The one that fits you. Sacrificng comfort to be more aero will make you slower.

OK so it looks very very nice - but where is the supporting evidence? I have not seen this brand - anyone ride them??

Tom makes a good point also: This bike has a 74 degree angle - anyone know how steep could you get it by moving the saddle foward on the rails only (lets say selle italia flite).

Boy it looks good.

Does low = fast? I thought narrow mattered more than low.

Thanks for the replies. I understand the comfort/power relationship. I should have qualified my question with "all else being the same, what is the best bike to help create the optimal position for 40 k TT's" i.e. Cervlo as it provides a range of seat angles, or Guru as the head tube is very short, etc. Thanks again.

My vote is for the softride. You can get yourself into pratically any positions you want, I ride confortable at around 80 degrees. That tallish head tube that everyone says is a problem isn't really, I have about an inch of spacers under the stem still, and I don't think I really should go any lower. And as they say, a softride almost always wins in the wind tunnel.

Try the Felt DA, pretty much the lowest headtubes in the industry. Not to shabby looking either.
