CAAD 12 vs. ALR 5

Background:
I've ridden a hard tail Trek 6000 for the past 8 years. I threw on some hybrid tires since 80% of my riding is on road.
Budget:
At or under $2000
I've been looking at both the subject bikes. I test drove the CAAD 10 yesterday and I liked it. Shop did not have a 12. I will be testing the ALR 5 later in the week. My research indicates that the bikes are fairly comparable but the 12 is about $400 more.
Does anyone have any input that would assist me in making this decision? I'm also not 100% committed to either of these bikes, so alternative suggestions are also welcome.

Buy what you like and what fits.
I like CAAD's so I have bought some - probably makes me biassed.0 -

That of course is the goal. Assuming they both ride equally well, I suppose that price would then become dispositive.
But you would agree that both bikes are very comparable?0
