It might not have sloped by much, but the curve of the top tube exacerbated the visual impact. Have you checked to see if they have any 2009 in? If not they do show up on ebay, if you're not dead set on new. However the 2009 does twitch a bit on the road, this (2011) might not be as bad for that. Have you ridden one btw? It's a love or hate thing. Also the reach is quite short.
I don't see a link in the design at all to previous models, which is a shame as I think the 2009 is really lovely.
