First, you don't want to 'top-post'. Make your replies at the bottom.
Second the pictures are good, but you want the web page that shows the
specs, like the one you did for the Cannondale.
I wish the company would give the type of frame and fork and not some
'gizmo' name like CAAD7 Optimo. It seems to be ultra-thin aluminum, but
hard to tell at first.

Here several guys discuss the durability of this frame, and how thin the
aluminum is. So it depends on the type of riding you're going to do.
I'd suggest you do more research and use google.com like I just did. You
want to match the type of riding you're going to do, against durability and
several other characteristics. Frame geometry is important too. Ya gotta
test ride the bikes, make sure you're fitted right. Pick either one they're
both good rides. The Cannondale comes in a large number of sizes. The Giant
typically has only 3 sizes.
