Cinelli or Tifosi?

Hi guys, Just joined whilst looking for a new bike.
My current bike is a Specialized Roubaix Elite in a 52cm which I'm starting to think could be a little small for me. I'm 5,9".
So have been offered these two with a good trade-in price on mine.
The Cinelli Seatta is a full 105 build with R500 wheels
The Tifosi Corsa is a full Campagnolo Centaur, wheels included.
Both have Deda finishing kit on them. Both are 54cm frames and setups.
Which would you recommend is the better buy?

as someone with a cinelli pro best of italo'79 in build, i will say cinelli... lol
in all seriousness, the saetta has some really good reviews. centaur would be lovely over 105 admitedly, but you will have more scope for upgrading easily & cheaply with shimano and the saetta frame would respond well to upgrades over time.
either way... both are great bikes and a little bit different from the norm of specialized/trek/scott/canyon/ribble/planet x et al.0 -
Cheers five, ATM the Saetta is my first choice, I've put the question across to see if they'll swap the groupsets over. if they can put the Centaur on the Cinelli. i'll be a happy chap. The Tifosi, I've been told, is a generic frame with tifosi badging. Not sure it is though, it looks far to specific to be generic IMO?
The Seatta is a compact spotive frame the Corsa is more traditional.0
