I think they are ok for the money, but best to get a bike that fits and you like.

It is a BikesDirect bike. They were just offering a deal where you could get a Bottecchia with Campy Record for like $1500, and then send back the frame for a $200 credit, which was basically worthless. Actually, over on BikeForums, the owner of Bikes Direct said the frame is worth $50. Go with the bike you want.
