If you like the Cube and its the right bike for you, buy it. Don't forget to check whether it can take guards, pannier rack etc which you might need for the commute

@Ste pt1

Managed to try a 53cm Attain Race today - not the exact model in the range that I want but I just wanted to check out the sizing and I have to say it felt pretty much spot on and virtually the same as my current bike.

I'm 5' 8.5" and the 56cm felt like a big bike to me although Cubes are supposed to come up small?

The Race was a 2016 model so they are starting to hit the shops.

I am similar height and had a 56 cube agree gtc pro,they did seem smaller sizing but I think I may of been better with a 54 ,they do 56 or 53 now ,so unsure myself till they come into the LBS

I have a Giant 1 (carbon) and rate it. However..........I got it with 40% off. Pound for pound I think the Cube takes some beating.
