Is there a better value than the Planet-X road bikes at the moment?

The wheels on the Planet X look pretty dire. Given how important wheels in determining how a road bike rides, i'd get something else (like the ^ Canyon!).

How about the Merlin road bikes? Spec looks decent and their MTB frames are pretty good.

Not sure of the specs of the other bikes, but the Cayo 105 is an amazing bike. Great spec and amazing ride.
