Commuting - Specialized Sirrus Sport vs. Sirrus Comp?

So, in addition to my road bike, I've decided to get a flat-bar bike for neighborhood power/fitness riding.
If you haven't tried one of these flat-bar bikes, you should, they're awesome! It is basically a road bike with flat handlebars and just a little upright geometry. These models both have carbon forks and seatstays!
So, I was at the LBS and rode the Sirrus Sport, but wonder if the Sirrus Comp is worth the extra $370 bucks. They didn't have a Comp in the shop to try. I checked-the specs and there are only a few upgrades that I would be interested in, such as: better shifters, wheels, Zertz insert in handlebars, carbon-wrapped seatpost. Nothing I couldn't live without, but I'm all for buying right the first time, and don't want to regret not bumping up to the Comp.
I am wondering if any of you have a Sirrus, and what you found in comparing the Sport with the Comp.
I appreciate any info you might have.

If its an 08 sirrus comp it also should have a carbon fiber fork. And I think that all of those upgrades are worth an extra 380. The wheels alone will help. Many folks skimp on wheels and they shouldn't.

I own an entry level '07 Sirrus http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q219/Sirrus-Rider/07%20Bikes/6-6-08002.jpgand after studying the line up it seems the more you spend the more carbon fiber you buy and better componentry; however, I have my doubts if the carbon fiber and radial (and fewer) spoked wheels are better over the long haul. The entry level is equivalent to a top level bike of the mid-90's and so far I'm quite happy with its quality.

Those few upgrades are worth the price difference. You wont regret the upgrade.
