Yuck, integrated proprietary crap everywhere on that Trek.
Go to Montano Velo and check out the Cervelos. Light but they still take a pounding, all without succumbing to integratitis. Soloist or R3 are both good 'round here
If not those, then whatever your sponsor coughs up for cheap ;-)
A power meter'd probably be a better investment either way, doesn't Garmin make one now?
Note that you can just electrical tape over sponsor logos on existing bikes if that's an issue...
All just blather anyway. I'm waiting on my soloist to finish it's TT makeover, CycleSports should be calling me to tell me it's finished any day now...

I see your point on integrated stuff. I don't hate it yet cause i've only every had the Cannondale: we'll see.
I'm interested to finally find out what it's like to ride on carbon, is it all it's cracked to be?
Given your bad luck with wheels, make sure your next bike comes with durable wheels. :P
can't say i'm a fan of treks... but with a name like mad-one, you can't go wrong.
