I don't understand the relevance. Are you applying this statement to all 3 bikes or one in particular?
Is £1200 for a bike really lower end?
The OP is correct this is the lower end of the spectrum, out of the three bikes the Tarmac offers best value on price. However for an overall deal with better groupset and wheels you may find better elsewhere but I gather from your earlier post that is not an option.
