2004 Cannondale R2000 or 2004 Kestrel Talon

I am buying a new road bike. I am down to these two. I can get them both with Ultegra from my LBS for $1800. They are 2004 models. Any opinions on these and which one you favor. I will be racing next season. I am 6'1 150. this will be my second road bike. I previously had an Iron Horse Triumph. Thanks in advanced.

Get the red one. Red is faster.

Believe the point is, why don't you just test ride both and decide for yourself what bike you want to race on?

I've ridden the Talon; it felt stiff and fast to me....but I'm sure the 2000 would be also. The Talon I test rode was red....and it did look fast.
