Just my humble opinion....but if I had $3000 to spend, I'd get a custom frame made exactly to my body measurements, and if necessary I'd sacrifice the Campy and put Ultegra components on it instead in order to pay for the custom frame that fit me perfectly. You can always further upgrade components later on, but you can't change the frame geometry.
