Hi
I’m looking at upgrading my Planet-X SLPro soon and have a shortlist. I’ve entered a few sportives & triathlons this year, and quite like the idea of maybe doing some time trials.

Canyon Aeroad CF8.0
http://www.canyon.com/_uk/roadbikes/bike.html?b=2516
Love the looks & spec of the Canyon and have read some good reviews, but not able to ride before buying.

Scott Foil 20
http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk/Scott_Foil.html
The Scott seems to fit the bill well, but have read can be a very harsh ride?

Kuota Kharma Ultegra
http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk/Kuota_Kharma.html
Kuota Kebel Ultegra
http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk/Kuota_Kebel.html
The Kuota looks the part, and good spec but hard to find too many reviews on (&maybe heavy?).

I know the best way is to ride a bike to see which is best, and I plan to visit Epic cycles as they have Scott & Kuota, but not able to do the same with the Canyon. Obviously ride is king, but I think you need to love the bike too to inspire you to get out on it, which is where the looks come in.
At a budget of £2.5-3k how much better are these likely to be in the real world to my PX and any others to add to the list?
Ta!
