It looks like there is very little (if any) difference between the 2016 and 2017 Sirrus Expert Carbon Models
2017 Sirrus Expert Carbon
2016 Sirrus Expert Carbon

I did spot a couple differences and I can't find anything to help me figure out if they are good changes or bad. I have 3 questions I'm hoping you all can answer.

1. On the 2017 the wheels are called "Axis Expert Deep" and on the 2016 they are called "AXIS 2.0 Disc". Does anyone know what's the difference or are they the same thing with a new name?
2. On the 2017 the brakes say "Shimano Deore, hydraulic disc, resin pads, 160mm rotor" and on the 2016 they say "Shimano BR-M447, hydraulic disc, resin pads, 160mm rotor". Again are these the same exact brakes?
3. I weigh about 242lbs and I noticed that the weight limit for the carbon bike is 300lbs but the limit for the seat post is 240lbs. Have any of you 240+ riders had any problems with the Specialized CG-R, FACT carbon seatpost?
