'Trouble is. What I need is a great climbing / decending bike. But what I want is a fast looking aero bike.'
It's about the rider not the bike. I can out descend people, on carbon racers, on a loaded up touring bike.
Just get a bike you like the look of from a good company. No bike will make you a better rider in any way. So get one you like.

In all honesty the S3 keeps topping my shortlist because its glossy red.
I've made enquiries into the Neil Pryde Nazare 2, Argon 18 Nitrogen, and some others. But as they're New they're a bit off Budget.
I think I'd be really happy on a shiney red S3.

I have Nice Wheels, and a P2M crankset. So I dont really need a Complete bike. Which makes canyon less bargintastic. Still good though.
A 51 S3 With a -17mm stem raises my bars only 6mm. Which is probably a good thing.
Trouble is. What I need is a great climbing / decending bike. But what I want is a fast looking aero bike.
Hence looking at the foil and S3.
