I would tend to the Orbea for some reason I cannot explain. I understand it used to be the Ordu until the new Ordu came along and has a fantastic rep as long as you don't plan to ride it at less than 15mph when apparently it then lets you know what the road surface is like but above that it is reputed to be swift and sure footed.
I do however defer to anyone that has ridden said machines.
If I were to choose a bike from your list it would be out of the Felt or the Orbea. Ridden the Felt, VERY fast and fairly comfy (for a TT bike). But the Orbea is also a very capable and popular bike. I think if you are spending this kind of money on a bike you absolutely MUST try it out first, once you've ridden your shortlist of bikes then you'll know which one suits you best.
