Where are you located?
OK, let's assume that the Felt is a used bike, and not one that's left over from another model year that the shop still has on the floor. And that both the Giant and Specialized are new and left over from past years. They are all good bikes, but the Giant is the best value.The Allez is now 2 model years old, and $850 is too much for a bike that probably retailed for $1200-$1300 in 2013.
Also, I'm not sure if you understand the differences in frame geometry, but the Defy is what's known as an "endurance" geometry frame, which means a more upright riding position, whereas the Felt and Allez are more race-oriented "aggressive" geometry frames. You need to ride both styles to see which one suits you better.
