This is true, but you have to understand that it is a cult following...it does not matter if there are others out there, only CAAD matters...not that there's anything wrong with that
I have a 2009 Allez and picked it over a CAAD9 5 or was it a 6...I forget... Anyway, I just found it more comfortable and a better fit. I tried the 2011 Allez with Apex and I found it a bit stiffer than the 09, my LBS let me try it on for a few hours.
