Currently have a Trek Emonda SL6 Disc that I'm happy with for longer / hillier rides.

But where I live (East of Leeds / South West of York) is pretty flat and aero bikes = cool, so I'm considering adding to the stable.

Requirements are an aero / race frame, mechanical Ultegra as a minimum and a decent wheelset. Something in stock rather than a lengthy wait would be good too. I'm 179.5cm tall with an 83cm inseam (my last Specialized Tarmac in 56cm was a perfect fit, my Trek is ever so slightly too big).

Budget £3.5 - £4K. So far I've seen Orbea's Orca, the Merida Reacto 7000-E and the Cervelo S3 Disc Ultegra.

Anything else I should be looking at? Or do I blow the budget with the idea of selling the Emonda and upgrading to a top-end Scott Addict or similar?!

Thoughts welcomed!
