Dogma F8 vs F10

I just recently I got my lawsuit money from a previous cycling vs car accident, and as a reward to myself I have decided to buy a super bike. My riding will be about 50% climbing vs normal road riding as I live in Denver. That should give you a rough idea upon what I'm looking for between the 2 bikes.
Now it's easier part to list off what I know I want and go from there.
It's gonna be a Pinarello Dogma, nothing else.
It's going to be Shimano Dura Ace Di2.
Nice wheels (think around zipp 202 or 303, but doesn't have to be zipp )
And that's basically it. At this point money isn't much of an option, but extra money saved will be usd to get a better gravel road/cyclocross bike down the road for the winter months
The 2 F8's I'm looking at are both 9070 Di2, 2015 models. One is BoB rim brake going for around 8,000 grand. The other F8 is a yellow and black disk model for about 8,800. Both come with Zipp 202. I have rode both of these as of 2 weeks ago, and I'm leaning more towards the none disk model mostly because of the savings in money, but I could be convinced otherwise. I'm fairly confident that the disk brake would take quiet a bit to get use to stopping at higher speeds and I don't need to be able to stop on a dime. I also really don't like the color scheme on the disk model. The stripe down the seat post really bothers me for some reason.
I also know about the K8-S with disk, which they would sell with custom wheels. BOB, for around 10,000 not my cup of tea, but again can be talked into it. I would just like something a bit more racy.
The F10 would be asteroid red and 9150 Di2. This bike would be 12,500 wheels would also be zipp 202. I like this color scheme the most by far.
I have not had a chance to ride the F10 as no one really has them, and it would have to be custom ordered for me. The F8 on their own would be a massive jump from what I previously had (FP3, and Cervelo P3) so really anything will make me happy. There is just that little voice that I saying I will never have an opportunity to be the most current bike in the world ever again. I'm also reverse worried that I won't see any deference from the F10 because frankly, the F8 is a censored fantastic bike.
I just don't know if the 4,000$ is worth the F10, and the bike shop/fiancé are about to kill me if I discuss this any further with them.
Thanks

If money is really no object (you do mention an $800 saving between rim/disc so it must have some bearing) then buy the F10 now and enjoy, but if you can wait a few months for it to be discounted once the 2018 bikes are announced and use the change to buy that gravel bike you mentioned (gotta be a Slate, surely) …
looking at surly for sure.
Its not an object, but I don't wanna be stupid at the same time. So its all about walking that fine line, but I see the point with the F8 really being 3 years old now
Yea I did feel the weight testing out the F8 disc, thats why it's a distant 3 in my mind.
How do you like your R5? I loved my P3, but their road bikes I haven't loved nearly as much.
Ive seen 0 F10 outside of 2 bike shops. Then again, Ive only seen like 3 Dogma of any type of the road outside of a race. I've seen waaaayyy more high end tri-bikes (p5, shiv etc..)
But the Dogma F8 would be my choice and then spend the other 4k on hookers and blow for your impending stag do.
PX Kaffenback 2 = Work Horse
B-Twin Alur 700 = Sundays and Hills
That said I can't see there being much difference between the F8 and F10 (and knowing Pinarello they'll probably just bring out an F12 next year). I'd go rim brake F8 and spend the extra money on a 9150 rear mech and another P3.
This has been a thought in my mind also, I did really love my P3.
Yea no team sky bike here.
Upgrade! Love my P5.
EVERYONE'S EYES!!!
WTF is going on with that wallpaper?
Very nice. I just love the P series in general.
If my would play nicely (said accident for lawsuit) I would get more heavily into triathlon. Right now, anything above Olympic and once and a while half is to much swimming. Maybe one more year will make difference.
What? Got rid of it?
my 5 year old now wants Flamingo Wallpaper !!! :evil:
Naw dude, put it up!
