Given similar costs:

Felt B14 vs Cervelo P2..... if I can swing cost Felt B2 ( Di2) vs Cervelo P3. Also considering QR CD0.1

From an "aero" perspective, the frames are all going to be so close it's probably not measurable

DI2...I am very biased. I love it. For me, DI2 is like electric windows and cruise control in my car. Certainly not necessary but I won't buy a car without it now that I have tasted it.

I would look at the saddle, bars and other components around those bikes to pick one of those. Bar adjustability would be a big part of my criteria. I would make sure it is adjustable in all directions

If all is still equal go on price and use the saved $ to make it even better with aftermarket stuff. Look for the dealer willing to swap in/out parts like saddle and/or bars.

that's what I would do.

I was in the market for both 2 years ago.  I was leaning toward the Felt prior to test rides for the scientific reasons of I had a white bike and wanted a black one.  Plus I liked the look of the Felt better and didn't like the cockpit on the P2.  After having both set up for me I choose the P2.  It just felt snappier to me.

My .02, stay with P2 or B14 and use the extra money toward a wheel set.

The triathlon bike vs. road bike quandary. Before you even ask the road bike vs. tri bike question, you should have a couple sprint triathlons or duathlons under your belt.
 
Cervèlo Dual 10 Tri Bike

Yes, the Dual is a little heavier than Cervèlo’s high end counterparts. But…the price is within reach of the masses and it still incorporates all of the design features that make a Cervèlo special.
