Subject: NEED ADVICE. P2C VS. ORDU???????

I have the opportunity to purchase either a P2C Ultegra or a Ordu with mostly DuraAce components.  Now I know the Ordu is the more valuable bike.  I've tried to research the differences in them in terms of geometry and it seems the Cervelo is better for nose leaners and the ordu for rear leaners but I thought I would ask the experts.

 Which bike and why? Thanks a bunch guys.

The P2C is more aero and better if you like to ride 'steep'.

The Ordu looks good and better if you like to ride 'slack'.

They fit quite differently and you are much more likely to prefer one to the other based upon that.

I got a P2C, Ordu was nice, but felt a little plastic to me.  P2C is FAST. I went from a Bianchi, averaging 17-19mph to the P2C averaging 21-24 mph on the same routes. 

Then again, the owner of my normal LBS swears by Orbea...

I'd go for the Orbea just because I'm sick of seeing Cervelos around everywhere. the Ordu is much nicer looking.

Thanks guys.  I went with the Orbea.  I don't really care about looks or exclusivity but the Ordu had better components, bars and wheels and I think it will suit my riding style a little better.  We'll see.

Odd, I see ads in the magazines that list the P3C with DA at a lower price than an Ordu with Ultegra. I spec'd an Ordu Ultegra with HED3c's at $5969.51 (with tax). I found P3C's (DA) in magazines for around $3500. I realize the HED3's add a chunk of change (1590 to be exact) but seems that the Ordu is still much pricier.
I want the Ordu, but it seems the P3 is a better deal. Mind you, none of this includes fit as a factor. When the time comes that will be my main focus.
