How did you find the the rear end compliance? I do get what you're saying about too much isolation. The Domane 6 series I test road was excellent at isolating you from the road but it definitely mutes the riding experience to an extent. I like the new Domane SLR approach where it can be adjusted as stiff as an Emonda or 12% more compliant than the regular Domane.
At least the front end shock is adjustable with different springs. And the rear end takes a standard seat post so you could install one of the Ergon seat posts if you want something more compliant than the CG-R.
