From the info on there site, it looks fantastic. Go with what makes you happy.
The bike i purchased was out of my price range but i liked the spec and it looked gorgeous and was a perfect fit.
I got mine even though it was out of my price range because i loved the way it looked and how it fitted me. Plus the spec for
the price i was paying was a bargain.
PS My bike came with Alpha Dot Security free. Not sure if it is exclusive to Cycle Surgery or if that is how all Cubes are done.

Which saddle did you buy. I have just got a planet x carbon and went for my first ride yesterday. I have been riding a hybrid which has a lovely comfy saddle and I am sore today. Any tips anyone ?

FWIW this is Mrs S's Spesh Dolce Elite, but the colour scheme only reinforces what RaRa said earlier. It's a well specced bike, Ultgra mechs, Hollowtech II, carbon forks etc, but there is no mistaking who the bike is aimed at, and look at the saddle! I say saddle, it's more of an armchair. Perhaps Specialized thought it would be good for using on a turbo trainer while watching Loose Women 
This is 2005 model so perhaps things have improved in WSD a bit, but I think there will always be an element of WSD designated colour schemes.

You may just need to get used to the saddle or get more padded shorts! I am on my second one of these, comfy for me

The Charge saddles get good press too, the Ladle is for girls http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/14994/Charge_Ladle_Saddle
The saddle that came with my Khuota was basically a razor blade - the pain after an hour on that thing was indescribable
I swapped it for a Charge and I can't remember the model but it looks very similar to the Ladle linked by vickster. It will take a few rides to "bed in" but combined with padded shorts I find it quite comfy for several hours in the saddle.

Here is a pic of my better half's bike, as you can see she is not really into pink either
Although to be fair she has opted for a touch of pink since this was taken and now has a saddle with some pink in it.

That was taken nearly two and a half years ago so the chain has long gone, however.............. in the latest incarnation it now has purple wheels and lavender [a mistake in my opinion] handle bar tape. I have no pictures of the current bike as the camera couldn't cope with the colours.Holy pink-a-rooney - is that really a pink chain?
I feel it was important that the picture was taken without any other colours in the garden present for obvious reasons. There are quite a few forumites who have seen this bike in the flesh so to speak and didn't need sunglasses.

I'm after one of these or a Bianchi Nirone 7 - just waiting to test ride them both...

I upgraded to this.
Better spec.......and it just looks soooo cool
The race has a better spec, surely with a 105 groupset.... I spoke to the Missus last night and she more or less gave me the green light to get the Peloton SL as she 'likes the colours more'!
