First cx bike

Hi folks,
I've been looking into getting my first cx bike and have narrowed it down to the Cannondale Caadx series. I can pick up the Caadx Sora for £658, Tiagra £822, and the 105 for £954. I looked at the Ultegra but it's a bit more than I want to spend on a bike to see how I like cx. Aside from the components I couldn't find much difference between the three frames. I bring this up because as long as I have a decent frame I can upgrade the components if I enjoy cx. I would appreciate any input into this topic.
Thx,
RR

Halfords are doing £40 if ordered online, plus 10% CA discount and the current £100 off, so a Boardman CX Comp 2014 can be had for £415.
Probably a bit more entry level than your needs. It's all Sora bar the FSA chainset. Tektro mechanical disks, Mavic rims...0 -
I'd be tempted just to go for Sora. The Sora groupset is perfectly adequate for CX and 9 on the rear cassette is enough. External cables is no bad thing either as it means you can change the cables easily.0

how about this and if you dont like it sell it on.
