Which Bike to Buy?

Just trying to suss out which bike I should buy. I plan to upgrade from aluminium to carbon, and my budget is $2000, but if I can get something amazing for slightly more, I'd be keen.

All bikes are 105 groupset, and I have some decent wheels and pedals to throw on the new carbon. I plan to use it for longer rides (50km+) and as a dry-weather bike.

This is the De Rosa 348 (the one in the shop is Shimano, not Campy), $2200

Fuji Altamira 3.0 $1800

Focus 3.0 $2399

Thoughts? Which is the best value?
