Ridley Damocles ?

Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting a new bike with a budget up to around £2000. I'll be using it for regular 50-60 mile training rides, occasional sportives and a few triathlons so ideally want a bike that has a more aggressive geometry, rather than a dedicated sportive style. I've currently got an aluminium focus variado, which has a reasonably aggressive geometry and I've never found uncomfortable even over long distances.
So far I've test ridden a Scott addict, giant tcr, trek 5.2 and my friends planet x. The scott was my favourite, although this was also the one where the shop fitted me properly and let me go on quite a long ride.
I've recently found a Ridley Damocles 2008 frame for £1000, which i could build up for under my budget. I can't find too much info on this frame and wondered if anyone could give me an opinion? I don't know too much about Ridley either but I gather they've got a pretty good reputation.
Basically wondered whether the Ridley would suit my needs or if anyone could suggest any other frames for around the £1000 mark or bikes up to £2000?
Thanks for your help!
