Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

giant defy vs raleigh revenio

So i've been doing a lot of research and I think I have my search for a new bike narrowed down to two choices, either a Giant Defy 1 or a Raleigh Revenio 3.0. They both look to fit the kind of riding I want to do, the pricing is similar, and the shops that sell them seem good. I'm a few weeks away from being able to go and physically check them out so i've been doing my research on here and have found some information, but most of it seems to be a couple years old. I was hoping to get some opinions from anyone who has compared the two bikes lately.

my friend has a defy 2, it's very good, the only possible upgrade would be the wheelset to something lighter

I test rode a Giant defy1 and I really liked it, that's why I replaced my Sora with 105 groupo after I tried it I'm like that's how I like it!!
