Looks to be the best bang for your buck of the (many) Diamondbacks they've got listed right now. Steel frame, carbon fork, and full 105 set-up is good value at that price.
I'd be curious about the weight of the frame - I notice they list it as only 2 pounds heavier than the all-carbon version, but I suppose it's a pretty slim machine all around.
I don't think you could go wrong with this purchase for non-competitive road riding, and see no advantage to stepping up to the ultegra or full carbon equivalents unless you're planning to race people. Plus you'll need to save some cash for pedals.
