Pinarello FP5 V Cube GTC Pro

[tiredlegs]

Firstly, hello all. Its my first time on here so please be gentle with me!!! Names Gareth and live in South Wales.
Quite new to cycling,been at it bout 2 years. At the mo I`m riding a cannondale caad5 but thinking its time to upgrade to a carbon bike. Have visited lots of LBS (and sum not so local),looked at loads of bikes. Thought I was decided on a Cube Agree GTC Pro (2011 with 105 groupset -£1350), then last week I was offered a Pinarello FP5 (2009 with Campag Centaur groupset -£1000). Both are brand new.
I mostly ride the South Wales valleys and Brecon Beacons,doing bout 40-50 mile rides.
Any opinions on the bikes, cheers
