If it were my money i'd but the quintana
The Dolan might be worth a look - I love it and use it as my bike for training and racing as I've had set up not to be too agressive ............ everyone will have a different view ....... happy shopping !
But
Just came from Tri UK they have some excellant bikes in there.
They have a selection of the Quintanna roo 2008 build dropped down to £ 1299
And an absolutly lovely KUOTA KARMA FOR £ 1500.
Both of these looked like great deals, thought i would just let you know incase you still hadnt bought yet.

Thank u mr Conehead sir. If u had £2000 to get a bike what would u get?
The great thing about road bikes on the whole is that they are often looked after better than mountain bikes, this is even more true for a pimped up TT bike as they will likely only see the light of day a limited number of times.
For a budget of 1500 you could get a nice bike worth 2000-2500 new so will have better spec. You loose the bike fit at the shop, but provided you get the right frame size this shouldnt be too difficult to do after.
Also with the economical times people are trying to offload unneeded possessions, so you could get a good deal! check out the forums, timetriallingforumco.uk, veloriders forum etc.
