Allez DSW Comp SL or TCR Advanced 2?

Ackie

Both 2016 models in the sales around £850 both 105 ish.

Minor spec differences aside, it comes down to either Giant 'lower grade' Carbon vs Posh Specialized Aluminium.

Thoughts, opinions, experiences much appreciated.

Specialized fans will vote for the Allez and Giant fans for the TCR - Personally, I would go for the Allez which I think is simply a very good bike (I've got one and there is nothing wrong with aluminium). Sorry, but I have no Giant experience to compare it with.
