I just bought a SL5 this week, so I can't give a long-term impression of it, but I've been happy with it so far from two rides the last couple of days. The model I have is the white SL5 WSD, but the only woman-specific thing about my 54 cm was the saddle, and I had that swapped before I left the shop.
My intended use for it is primarily paved backroad use. The roads here in Michigan are pretty awful, and anything that adds to comfort is a benefit.
