Default Scott Speedster S60 and the Trek 1.2

Hey again, so I have been test riding these two bikes, both around $750, and I'm having a rather hard time deciding. The Scott is stiffer, and more responsive which I love, and it's more comfortable. The Trek, aside from looking awesome, has moderately better shifters and derailers, which I also love.

I put money down on the Scott Speedster! I got the 58cm frame, and it's very comfortable. I will tell you how my first 100 miles go.
