This. Buying the full-carbon "dentist bike" set-up won't make you faster if you can't get in a good position. The cheap, old-school way is far more adjustable.
Also, if you are even a little bit tall you'll run up against the UCI rule for extension length with a sprint-ish saddle fore-aft position. I'm only 5'10" but I'm at the limit, and I get around it by holding on to the extensions with just two or three fingers.
