'dale alu synapse 105 replacement?

evil_breakfast

After ordering the aforementioned steed from Evans and following a flurry of recent posts re continuing problems of supply

I've now started to think about alternatives, after finding out today that the delivery date has now been put back to April.
With payday impending, the following is now just within my budget, with a bit of "flexibility" (i.e. haggling) mentioned by Evans after dropping the bombshell.

Should i bite the bullet on this, or possibly consider a Caad8 (105) as a "like for like" replacement?

As ever, any views/opinions would be gratefully received.

Did you choose the Synapse because of comfort for long distance rides? Spesh Secteur probably the best alternative from the Evans stable. Rather have the Synapse myself though

I'd rather walk than ride a Specialized TBH.

I'd wait for the Synapse. But that's cos I like a bike that will take proper mudguards, which this years alloy Synapse will.
