Planet X vs Dolan

Hello,

I'm looking to get a decent road bike as I'm planning on getting more serious about road cycling. I'm looking around the 1,000 mark (to comply with the bike to work scheme) and ideally a carbon frame. I've been looking at loads of different bikes - Pinarello, Bianchi etc. But the two that have stood out are the Planet X Carbon Rival:

And the Dolan Mythos (currently on special Tour de France offer):

Any thoughts / advice? I've been hearing lots of good things about Planet X recently. The Dolan does look like a good offer too, but I don't really know much about the company.

Cheers!

    A guy in the cycling club on todays ride was using a dolan mythos, if I had to choose between PX and that bike, id have the dolan as it looked just gorgeous. 12k weave carbon is usually not my thing, but it looked cool on the mythos.

    Planet x were doing that frame with SRAM red gearing a few weeks ago for under a grand.
    I've had one Dolan bike and two Planet x's.

    You can't go wrong with either bike I reckon.
