"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

I guess so! I'd love a Tarmac as my next race bike.

A good friend of mine, who wanted to upgrade much in the way you do bought a Vita about a year ago. She loves it. I have been on quite a few rides with her and she has never had any issues with the components, etc.
And, she made it up Oak Hill on her Vita, despite the fact she was cursing me the whole way...

Gotta jump in with another vote in support of Specialized. This fall as I looked at bikes I was looking between Trek and Specialized. Decided on a Specialized Dolce (compact sport) road bike (once I narrowed the brand/LBS, it was between Vita and Dolce and in my case decided on the traditional road styling). Decision was a combination of things - knowledgeable bike friends also seemed to think the component set was a bit better on the Specialized. But it really came down to the LBS. The three Trek dealers I visited turned me off, and I felt right at home at the LBS with Specialized.
In fact we like them so much, that my hubby just also bought his first road bike from them - a new but former year model of a Specialized Sequoia, on which they gave him a great deal.
