New Road Frameset - Budget £1600
I'm looking to 'invest' in a road frame and fork. Currently riding a carbon cube GTC which has been spot on. But I have saved £1600 and plan to buy something suitable for 50/100 mile sportives, local races and the odd 10/25 TT. I'm 9.5 stone (enduro MTB'er) and looking for advice on which frame would be best suited.
I plan to get fitted/sized professionally prior to purchase and will try to cycle as many as possible before I buy. LBS offer Specialised/Trek/Merida/Giant/Cube/Lapierre/Pinarello.
Been looking at De Rosa/Colnago/Orbea/S-works online but starting to get confused by it all. 
Thanks in advance for any links/advice.
I'll be taking my time before choosing.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
But I'm going for the Merida Reacto 909.
Canyon Aeroad .... great for TTs with a set of stick on bars and super for sportives.
All direct from Germany and their website.
Where from mate?
NB, one hundred pounds more than your budget (1699)
Cervelo s1?
I'm just about to get one.
A hundred pounds more and an S2...
The Evo is, but Cannondale do a whole range of the supersixes, they're not all the same frame are they?
Certainly lightweight.......695g's!
2.3k though...........
supersix evo, cannondale
Nice looking frame.
Just been looking at a Specialized Venge
Got a Kuota Kebel last year and I have to say it is absolutely fantastic. Super comfortable for sportives but stiff and precise handling so would be at home on circuits/crits.
It's also a bit different to the crowd if that matters to you.
