Thought I had made my decision until I went to the LBS

i was thinking of getting a Ribble Sportive Bianco with carbon wheels, but couldn't decide between SRAM or 105 gearing.
Quick visit to the LBS to have a look at gears . . . . Then I end up looking at a Cube Aerium Pro.
The idea was to to add clip on bars to the Ribble and I would be able to use it for sportives, triathlons & TT's. The Cube looks like it will do it all, it will be about £70 cheaper, I get good backup and they will include £120 worth shoes and Mavic Sprint pedals.
Will the Cube do everything comfortably?
What should I do?

Has to come down to which is the most comfortable - have you tried them both?0

That's one of the reasons I am swaying towards the Cube- Can't ride a Ribble.
Could only get a 30 min ride on the Cube, so hope that will be enough to get a feel for it's long distance ability.
I don't want to change from my 105 equipped Allez unless I am making a decent improvement in terms of performance, weight saving and ability to do everything.Stumpjumper FSR 09/10 Pro Carbon, Genesis Vapour CX20 ('17)Carbon, Rose Xeon CW3000 '14, Raleigh R50
