You can get into the carbon fibre models at that price but listen to [DOD]Asprilla's advice.

I like that, especially the disc brakes on a road bike. I've never seen that before.

Disc brakes are becoming quite popular on cyclocross bikes now.

A normal road bike still won't come with disc brakes yet as they aren't UCI legal so manufacturers just don't make them.

Would it suitable for riding on dry roads?

It will be superb in all conditions. It's not as speed orientated as a straight road bike but still quick enough, very stoppy with discs and very comfortable.

Discs brakes are awesome. The bike linked above looks like a great choice.
