If you were local to me - which you're not - I'd have you trying out my 2002 Litespeed Siena that's probably about your size, but is a bit big for me.
With a titanium frame and 2002-vintage Ultegra components (lots of shiny aluminum), that would certainly qualify as being a little different from the CF bikes.
