Thanks for the reply Francisco. I've tested the Synapse a few times and like the ride, but haven't fallen in love with the look of it. Better than 50% chance I will still get it though.
I also tested the Defy Advanced, but at a different LBS and they didn't size it right for me so I was very uncomfortable. Also, not a great deal I don't think ($2250 for 105 version). Seems like the Look 566 w SRAM for around 2350 is a better value, but I don't know. Plus it looks damn sexy. It would be my do everything (and only) bike.
