If you're looking at any of those bikes, the only difference is to pick the one you like the best (considering that any/all of the geometry works for you). I have an Orca Disc, and it rides as well and is as fast and as light as whatever the latest crop of carbon bikes is out there. Just because you don't see them as often as others doesn't mean they're in any way inferior- it's just that the marketing machine works in others' favors currently.

A few years ago (or longer than a few), you'd see Orbeas everywhere, but that was when they sponsored the Euskatel Euskadi team. However, the bikes that Orbea is putting out bikes these days are completely different from those older ones, and they're as substitutable as as any of the Big 3 (or four, or five, etc.).
