£3k upgrade from a Focus Cayo

Posts: 847
it looks as though i will be selling my M3 and with some of the money i will have approximately £3k to spend on a new road bike.
I currently have the Focus Cay 105 ltd 2011.
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/focus-cayo-105-ltd-2011/
The bike is standard apart from some handbuilt wheels
Ambrosio Rims, 105 Hubs.
The first thought is to get a new Focus izalco Pro with ultegra Di2 as i have been very happy with mine.
however, i have limited experience what with it being my first proper road bike.
i dont know wether to keep my bike, add some nice new bits and buy a used winter trainer or retire mine as the winter trainer/turbo bike.
i currently cycle between 75 - 175 miles a week and enter some sportives.
i also have been using my bike to do a couple of TTs on.
What are some other options?
i know its my choice but i would love to hear others thoughts

Good bikes Focus, I'd probably keep it and buy yourself something nicer for the dry days.
Plenty of happy Canyon CF SLX owners as they offer good value for money as well as being a pro level frame.
Something titanium may be? Van Nicholas or Enigma?
Your'e on the right track with a decent set of handbuilt wheels.I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0 -
How about buying some new blingy wheels for the Cayo and buying a dedicated TT bike?0

The Enigma's and Van Nicholas are beautiful machines.
The problem is £3k puts you quite lowdown on spec for those.
I have also never ridden a Ti framed bike.

Been perving at Ritte recently, look great and something a bit different.

I'm happy using my road bike for the moment.
It's only me again the clock and I am not that focused on TTs yet
