I gone 2 different bike stores and they have measured me and one store pushing the p2c and the other is pushing the bmc time machine 03.

I am sure alot of this is because of what they have in stock and sell. BMC seems to fit me (by being on a fit bike with the BMC measurements). Cervelo is a little bigger and I think I will actually fit on it better.

The thing that worries me is that the P2 SL has better companants that the BMC bike and is $400 cheapier. Both have an aluminium frame.

I might be able to get the p2c for the same price as the BMC with the same companants as the BMC (after a companant downgrade).

IF I do not get a bike this weekend at a bike show I will probably be getting one of these bikes. I am not sure the direction to go.

If anyone knows any other good bikes at a decent price that comes in extra huge that might be good also.

I love my P2SL.  Although it's not "carbon", I love how it feels, handles, and it looks pretty cool too.  I have had it for 8 months now and have had no mechanical problems (except the first week when a shifter nut fell off).  The ride is extremely comfortable and stable.  I did IMLP last summer with it and felt it went pretty well.  I have ridden it in both rain, wind and even snow and it has not let me down yet.

I'll tell you the same thing I did before.  Get on the bike before you buy it.  Don't trust a representation of what the bike "should feel like" based on geometry of a fit bike.  If you're plunking down that much money, you need to know what you're getting.
