I bought a CdF and its lovely but now i seem to be using it more than my road bike and will do so through winter. So I want a similar Cx style disc bike and have been searching a bit.

Budget is mebbes £1500-1880 quid, looking for similar geometry but maybe a touch longer in the TT but could cope with it being a tad bigger (i was on a 54cm and am 5'11").

I've found loads of possibles but has anyone bought something like that ?

Yeah that was one option that appealed, it fits the bill but would probably go 57cm ?

Do you want a whole new bike or just an upgrade? You could buy one of the 2015 Croix de Fer KVA Stainless framesets or last years Reynolds 931 frame set (which are on clearance now in a few places) both of which would be significantly nicer than your CDF frame.

The 2015 has had a slight geometry tweak; TT hasn't changed but the head tube is a bit taller.
