I think you'll find the lack of floor space given to women's road bikes a problem anywhere. My LBS back in Cincinnati has...maybe five women's road bikes (two of which are different model years of the same bike), none above 105. I think all of them may in fact be Sora (or cheaper, in one case). If you go to the back 1/3 of the shop, it's full of higher-end men's road bikes...up to and including a sleek-looking Dura Ace-equipped Specialized.
I haven't even seen a woman's road bike with 105 in the bike shops. One really big shop I went to didn't have ONE road bike, all hybrids with wicker baskets on the front

I would have to order both those bikes in (£50 refundable deposit if you don't like it, so not too bad). If it wasn't for my fiance I would do it in a heartbeat. I asked him if he loved me enough to let me buy it (even though it's my bonus from work?!) he said no

I have also fallen in love with the Wilier Escape Xenon http://www.cultracing.com/product_im...67842_zoom.jpg
