Replacing my CAAD8

Hello there!
I recently had my 2016 Cannondale CAAD8 Sora stolen and I’m looking for something different to replace it (just because I don’t like buying the same thing twice). I mainly use the bike for commuting in London but like to ride at the weekends too. I’m looking to spend ~£800 and there seems to be a confusing amount of options for the money. I’ve been considering the following:
1) http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/r ... -bike-2016
It’s a full carbon bike which seems brilliant value for money, though I’m aware this has been out for some time now? I’m a little concerned this might not be practical for London as I can’t mount brackets for locks/guards etc.?
2) https://www.onyourbike.com/product/7219 ... M-2017.php or https://www.onyourbike.com/product/1845 ... M-2017.php
Can’t really tell the difference between these two (they have different models of brakes, but I don’t know which is better). I like the idea that the disc brakes are grippy in the wet and require less maintenance.
3) https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/road/endur ... l-5-0.html
A relative unknown - but they look beautiful!
Can anyone help me objectively compare these?

Your links are not working properly.
Looks like you have copied and pasted only the partial URL to the pages you want us to comment on. Maybe just mention the bike models by name and we can google them ourselves.0 -
Whoops! Should be fixed now - thank you for pointing it out.0
