As far as the flex on the Domane there's a promotional Trek video where you can see the seat tube flexing quite a bit. It does make you wonder how it will hold up long term. Although carbon fiber can handle quite a bit of flex without cracking.
I'm sure trek has done fatigue testing on both the alu and carbon frames. The question I have is, are they willing to make those test results public?
Isospeed is in it's 2nd year of production (with a somewhat modified, ie lighter design), so that's a good sign. I am reasonably confident in the design, but there are still unanswered questions about this new design approach.
