The pitfalls of being well informed.
Here's some "anecdata:" I know 6 riders who owned the bikes the OP is considering; they're all on Tarmacs now. One of those riders can get Canyons for free. A few of the others had "sponsorship" deals for the R3. Their needs, as expressed, were similar to the OPs. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Kgreene, you're interested in the Canyon and Cervelo because you're looking for a reasonably light, reasonably compliant, definitely race worthy, non-aero, pressfit-stiff-bb, all arounder?
And, azrider, I wouldn't suggest a CAAD or Evo because the headtubes are too short vis a vis the other bikes mentioned. Anyway, it's not like this is a cheese forum and we're telling the OP to try vegan pate instead.
