What to spend my money on?

My Ribble Sportive was trashed last year by a non-bike friendly HGV. :cry:
Finally got my compensation through and its decision decision time!
I've got roughly £1600 to play with. Absolutely loved the Sportive, but fancy something different.

Was thinking about either of these two:
:arrow: Planet X SL Pro Carbon Elite with Shimano Dura Ace @ £1499.00
:arrow: Boardman Pro Carbon with SRAM Force @ £1599.00

Any views on either of these?
Any suitable alternative suggestions?

    RibbleRider - both of those are on my radar too (though are fading fast in favour of a Felt F3 (heavily discounted)). Both look to be top bikes for the money and roughly equivalent. Really can't argue with the PX price for the frame and DuraAce! Believe it comes with Model B wheels too which are more than satisfactory.

    Both good choices, they both have a more aggressive geometry than your old bike though so expect to be more stretched out and the front-end lower.
