Okay I got some feedback on the BMC/CAAD10 thing. Unfortunately my teammate got carbon BMCs. He rides about a 60-63 cm frame, is maybe 180 lbs, so tall, pretty strong, lanky. More of a rouleur than sprinter although he's beaten me in a sprint up a short hill.

He rates comfort as CAAD9/10 (stiffest), BMC SL01, Synapse. He had a BMC SLT but didn't rate it per se but he said the SLT was the most flexible of the bunch.

The CAAD9 was the stiffest/best frame he had. THe CAAD10 had one issue - one cable stop was not aligned so his shifting was off - and he said for some reason it was really flexible out back. This is the frame he just wrecked and I think he's had it for a while, maybe one of the first CAAD10s.

He got the SL01 because of the CC sale. Not sure what he'd have gotten otherwise.

So not really an answer. Sorry.
