I have the opportunity of getting a 25% discount on any Raleigh bike through work. I already have a GT mountain bike but I've been fancying a road bike and after a look on their website I was quite impressed. My last Raleigh bikes were my Grifter and my Burner biggrin

ISTR the carbon ones are pretty well rated, though no better than the Ribbles etc that are also built up from generic carbon frames.

The Alu ones aren't anything special.

Raleigh are ok but there is better makes about and you will find the more popular makes (cannondale, Trek, specialized, cube, etc, etc) tend to hold their value better

Worth taking a look around, most bike shops will have an end of season sale in a couple of months time and you should get at least that level of discount.
I managed 20% on a 2012 model cannonade from my local bike shop at during the Easter break

They certainly get decent reviews so a decent buy at that discount I'd say:

They seem to be getting better and better reviews recently, I would certainly take a look.

Nice looking bike, spec pretty good for the money too. Looks like a bit of a cyclescheme bargain to me!
