Probably a Specialized Roubaix or a Carbon Domane with 105s and a decent set of wheels.
Im still a newb so I dont really need a whole heck of alot.
Ill be happy if I ever find a comfy saddle.

DeRosa Idol without a doubt. I would give a nod to the Wilier GTR and the Canyon Ultimate though. (It would have to be Campy equipped so the Canyon would probably lose out quickly. They do sell frames only but they ask too much for it)

I have a few on the list as possible...Carbon Giant Propel with Ultegra because the bike frame looks good. Trek Domane 5.9 with Ultegra Di2 because it would be awesome and I wouldn't mind electronic shifting.

Litespeed T5G. Just like the one on the cover of Road Bike Action's 2015 buyers guide.

...will be my same Lapierre with Mavic R-SYS wheels, or a custom Seven Ti frame with classic geometry. (73 degrees, horizontal TT, touch longer WB)

I rode both the Elite and Comp models (both 2014) at a LBS. If you can save up the money, it would be well worth it to go with the Elite.
Or, you could do like me and get a Motobecane Gran Premio Elite from BD. I'll probably be ordering one next week.

I compared the Quest Comp, quest sport, and ventura Comp at a local bike shop (they didn't have an Elite), and really loved the way the quest comp rode...I'm hesitant to get a bike sight unseen.
...I also really like the feel of the Jamis Sport touring saddle...Which I can get included with the quest comp at the LBS...Who knows whether I would like the Bikes direct saddle or not?

Good choices! Which one do you think is a better aluminum frame and has a more comfortable ride? Would be nice to test both of these. I suppose Cannondale is the company everyone relates the best aluminum too but maybe Trek did something special with the ALR. The ALR6 definitely looks better. the Cannondale is smothered in prints and logos.
