Or stick with the CAAD philosophy and go for a CAAD10 UltegraI might up grade to an Ultegra version of the Super Six

Difficult one, that. I've heard glowing references for the CAADs and the Super Six. Buy both?Or stick with the CAAD philosophy and go for a CAAD10 Ultegra

I don't understand. That's like saying the moon landings were a 'bit lunar'. Black is 'teh sex' as I believe the kids say.

I can't explain CAAD philosophy TBH, but basically each new CAAD moves the game on to another level. So the 10 will be lighter and stiffer than the 9 was, which would have seen similar incremental improvements over the 8 and so and so forth.
However, THE most important factor of a 10 over a Supersix is that the 10's frame is made of metal instead of plastic

This. The stock wheels aren't bad but they're far front great. I have Fulcrum racing 5 + Conti GP 4 seasons on my CAAD8 and it's a noticeably better ride. CAAD10/Supersix has racier geometry, great bikes I'm sure but you may find it's not for you.

Synapse alloy is around 9.5
CAAD is around 8.7
Supersix is around 7.7
Depending on model.
Supersix evo ultegra is light.

I have just put some Fulcrum 3's with Conti 4000's on my Specialized Comp/Race and that has made a load of difference too..
We are in the process of moving back to the UK so at the time of my next bike purchase (Septembe-rish) I will book a ride at evancycles perhaps a different model as well just to compare.
I did have trouble with my first road bike so may be a ride on a few might help sort a bike out..
Before you spend £1000s on being weight weenie, just remember that most pro's bike are around 7.5kg, bringing out the 6.8kg super light ones for long mountain stages. 1kg on the bike is nothing
