Ribble - dribble - wibble... too good to be true

I was having a trawl through the Ribble website, as I'm now trying to decide between a carbon Planet X SL Pro frame and forks (£399) or Ribble's branded Nero Corsa 12K Carbon frame (£378 + forks).
It's a hard choice and I would be interested in your opinions.
Anyway, I stumbled on this...
Ribble TT Frame. £97!!!

Okay, it'll be aluminium but still £97!
Can't find any details on it though. Anyone heard of it?

I saw a Cube Aerium review recently that came out tops, I'm not ready for a dedicated TT position but I think a TT frame with drops and aerobars could be just the ticket!

By the way any idea on cost of setting up with resonable running gear?
Surely, it's too cheap for Tri? And it isn't black (or red)
If it aint carbon its not worth it.
It cant be much cop if they are selling it for 97 quid.
But i could be wrong.
Just because it says TT/Tri Frame or whatever doesn't mean it is any good.
BUT back to the reason I was on the Ribble site in the first place...
As I will soon have £400 burning a hole in my pocket, what frame?
1) Planet X SL Pro carbon frame and forks. £399
2) Ribble's branded Nero Corsa 12K Carbon frame - extra 15% off this Monday, making the frame £311!
What do you reckon?
I've got no strong feelings over either one, except the Planet X is pretty.
VOTE!

P-x looks a little steeper. The rest is down to you and your body shape.
