Performance Scattante CFR bikes - any reviews

I was speaking with a guy who is a bike buyer for Performance the other day and he said their bikes are pretty good. Yes, he’s a bike buyer for them and not what I would consider an impartial party. He said a few years ago their carbon bikes weren’t quite up to snuff with what’s on the market, but now they’re getting them from a new manufacturer and he’s happy with them. Due to volume orders and eliminating the middle-man, they’re able to get everything at a significant discount when compared to smaller shops. Does anyone have experience with their bike - good or bad?

Here is the link for one of the carbon bike:

I have one of their Aluminum frames with carbon fork and stays, and have had no problems with it. I’ve raced it in Duathlons, road races, TTs, Crits, and lots of training, crashed it a few times and the frame is still kicking. I may be upgrading soon from this bike, and not with a Scattante (not because of problems with the brand, but because of our team’s bike sponsor), but this bike has certainly served me well. It sprints well, climbs well, and has put me in several breakaways in crits and road races. Not to mention at the price point, you’re going to have a hard time finding a similar quality frame with a similar groupset.
