They all look pretty similar. Carbon frames w/ 105 running gear. I would ride them all and see if one fits better. This is were shop service might seal the deal. See if one dealer looks like they will be extra good about swapping parts to make sure you get the right fit.

FWIW, I rode the Roubaix Elite yesterday and was very surprised/impressed. Specialized stuff always seems to be pretty good. I'm likely buying one today, though I'm looking at the base model Roubaix, not the Elite.

I haven't ridden all of those bikes but if they have similar componentry at a similar price I would be all over the Roubaix. Such a smooth riding bike, of course I am know to ride my road bike places most people would consider MTB territory. If you plan on riding smooth roads it might not be that much of a big deal.
