No one can tell you how to spend your money. Well, scratch that -- plenty of people will
try, but you are the best judge of your budget and preferences. If you've got money to burn, and you really want to be a handful of seconds faster on a flatter ride, then buy the new bike. But since you asked for thoughts and opinions, I'll just share this: I would never spend that kind of money for such slight gains, especially since I no longer do road racing.
