I don't have 10,000 to spend on a bike, so no sense thinking about what I would buy if I did.

I'd buy 2 bikes. A madone and co-motion pangea co-pilot.
And my preference for the Trek is mainly because my LBS sells them and I love my LBS.

Test ride a ton of bikes then choose the best one for me. Deck it out with Full SRAM Red + SRM. three sets of wheels (one carbon clincher 46-55mm for general training, two sets of tubulars, one deep, one super light for climbing) And 5-7 new kits to ride in.
Oh if only I hadn't just lost my job.

Since I have an '09 CAAD9 setup essentially for racing (which I have yet to do ) I would get:
- A set of Zipp 404s with PT ($3,000 psimet?)
- A '10 Synapse Carbon 3 exactly as configured ($3,000) for a more comfort ride:
- A '10 Slice 5 for TTs, the Zipps might find their way on this bike too ($2100):
Which should then leave me enough for a 705 and mounts for each bike and some new bibs and jerseys.
Stick a fork in me...
