Fuji deals
Haven't read much about Fuji bikes around here. Performance has a few on sale that look like pretty nice deals:
Altamira 3.0: https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...20000__1650017
SL1 pro: https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...20000__1650017
I think I'm fine with 105 vs. Ultegra, so the Altamira is the first one I'm looking at. Don't know how the frames compare, though. Anybody have experience with these?

I work for a Fuji dealer so I am a little biased. Great bikes for the money. I ride an '09 SL1 with SRAM Red. Great bike. I'm eyeing up an Altamira for the coming year though...or D-6 TT/Tri bike.

Isn't the new SL-1 made of a "lesser" carbon? C-4? I thought I had heard that the SL-1's from a couple years back were made of better stuff, C-7, and so were more desirable? Is this correct or am I getting my facts wrong?

Nothing wrong with the c-4 carbon. I have the 2010 SST 2.0 and it's pretty tough. I ran it into my carport a few months ago. Tore the rack right off my car but the bike is perfectly fine. It was the seat that hit so nothing happened to the bars and the seat is still like new.

This year's batch of Fuji bike are just ugly. Don't know who the paint designer is for Fuji, but their bikes look like they came from Walmart. I know they are great bikes and a great value...their paint schemes are just horrendous.
But for those prices you can get this :
