Usually the consensus seems to be Specialized Allez or Giant SCR 2/3."A recent study has found that, at the current rate of usage, the word 'sustainable' will be worn out by the year 2015"0

Seriously though I got my via nirone for £525 then 10% back in accessories so was able to get a nice pair of Specialized comp road shoes plus cleats plus the bike for £560 all in.

Personally, if I were in your situation I'd stretch and go for this as it is seriously awesome value for money:
Planet X SL Clubman

Its the wrong time of year really but Focus ( http://www.wiggle.co.uk) do really good offers with better kit than bikes like the Specilized or Giant especially the end of the season0
