for me the Roubaix is all about fit. less drop.
it DEFINITELY rides smoother than the Tarmac but some (a lot?) of that can be fixed with a 25mm tire on the Tarmac. I would imagine the Venge is not about smoothness. Would be fun to spend some hours on either but I wouldn't even give it a thought unless I could put 25mm GP4000's or the 26mm Spec. tires on it.
doing intervals, sprints, pulling I don't feel i'm giving anything up to get the comfort. the bike feels flat out fast with no much at all in the pedal stroke. again I have the previous style (SL4) so there could be differences in stiffness. I have read some claim the new Roubaix was softened a bit in the frame (in addition to the front spring setup).

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
