I thought they were, actually, oops.

Also, keep the Trek as a backup/beater/trainer bike.
Can't keep them both, the Trek would be sold to help pay for the new one.

Ride 'em, and get the one you WANT. They're all great bikes.
One thought, though: ride 'em on the wheels you WANT, too. If you're not going to keep the OEM wheels on the bike, do your test ride on the wheels you WILL put on the bike.
I'll almost certainly just be staying with stock wheels for now. I like that the Scott comes with Ksyrium Elites, I've heard good things about them.

Cervelos are obviously nice, but I don't really want to buy one.

Eek.
I went to a couple more shops today, took a look at the Specialzied Tarmac SL2 Comp and Roubaix SL2 Comp. Both nice, both right in the same price range.
So far I'm leaning towards the Pinny, the Orion, and the Scott, in that order. The Cannondales don't do much for me, and I wouldn't want to spend that much money for one.
I'm interested to ride the Specialized next weekend.
Probably going to end up with the Pinarello, though.
