I like this bike a lot! Overall - It may not be the best bike in the world, but it is very good and the value is fantastic. I'm currently 1-2000km in to riding it, so I still have a lot to find out about it. Handling is really good and the bike corners and reacts with good confidence on twisty, fast descents and bad road surfaces. It doesn't feel skittish or difficult to control. It is also not a harsh ride, considering it is an aero bike I have notched up comfortable 3-4 hour rides, feeling fresh at the end.

But the stiffness is there so the acceleration is also good, not the most punchy I have felt, but is still at the right end of the spectrum and not at all disappointing. You do notice a good reaction when you put power down out of the saddle, you can wind the speed up pretty fast. The bike also climbs well. My full build has Ultegra Di2 and 35mm carbon rims but is still pretty light and lower than the published build weight. So, although it is an "aero" bike, it feels a lot more like a very competent all rounder.

In my opinion this feels like a decent high end bike. You can get bikes that are lighter, more aerodynamic, or marginally better handling/climbing/whatever, but you'd probably have to dig a lot deeper in to your pockets.
