To the bolded, you need a fit BEFORE you buy the bike. A fitter should be able to tell you with good confidence a range of top tube length values that will work for you.

If the length of the top tube doesn't work for your body, then any fitting that follows will be best-effort, but not very good.

Used bikes in your price range are normally a great value.

Which ever one fits you the best.

It ain't about the bike.

Would definitely go with cervelo, personal opinion based on my past experience with all of the mentioned bikes.

Cheers,

Hope you find your bike!
