I've narrowed it down to the Scott Foil 20 with Ultegra (about $3,100) and the Wilier Gran Turismo with Ultegra (about $2,800). I usually ride alone, or 2-3 people maximum. Most of my rides are 20-30 miles, sometimes 40.

Thanks

If you're mostly riding alone, just get the bike that fits best.

Aero definitely makes a difference, but if you aren't trying to hang on to a fast group or race, what's the point? Especially since aero can mean some comprimises in comfort.
