I'm hovering over the Buy button, but am stuck to see what the difference actually is between two models for a £200 premium??

Anyone here know that ranges and can offer any advice?

The Planet X Pro Carbon is £1199 >> http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXSLPULT6800/planet-x-pro-carbon-shimano-ultegra-6800-road-bike

The RT - 58 caron is £1399 >> http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXRT58ULT6800/planet-x-rt-58-ultegra-6800-11-road-bike

The second one is described as more sportive friendly geometry although looking at the dimensions chart the differences between the two frames in key areas is onl 3-4 mm so sceptical at how this small difference could make for any radically different feels?

Any thoughts fellas? I prefer the colour of the RT 58 to be honest but don't really want to make that choice based upon just colour!

The bottom bracket area is a lot stiffer on rt58 as is the front end as it has a tapered steerer, both are great bikes but I find the rt57/58 much better at absorbing road vibration etc
