I have to say that I didn't really enjoy riding the Trek, the position is wrong and I spend most of my time staring at the front wheel, and there just aren't enough gears for the hills around here. I don't think I'll be riding it much anymore, the Giant is so much nicer.
If the position is wrong, then it's a self-inflicted wound. Change things around until it fits like the Giant. If it was the right size when you bought it, that's all that should be required. As for the gears, you can get a 38t small ring for the front, or get a compact crankset, plus you could re-do the cogset with bigger cogs.

My "best" bike is a carbon Look 585. My second-best bike, though, is a steel '87 Centurion Ironman, and it's not far behind the Look. The fit on them is as close to identical as I could get it.
