Help me choose my new frame

Going to get a specialized frame and build it up for commuting. Will be using a touring width tire (700 x 28-32).

So which woudl you buy:

Crux

or

Allez

Crux gives me a cantilever option better for larger tires and has a slightly more relaxed geometry. Allez geometry probably a little quicker and nimbler for my size. I've grown to full clyde status at 6'3" 240, but will dump 40 no problem ridding more often.

Anyone have anything on these? They are very similar framesets.
