I picked up a used 1.5 earlier this year, swapped on some better tires, and have really enjoyed it. The Secteur is an endurance geometry bike, so more relaxed than the Trek, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with the comfort on the trek. Can probably swap out a more upright stem if need be, but it comes without a slammed stem, so I thought it rode pretty comfortable. I can't say that I found any fault with the Sora equipment either. It's been very quiet and reliable...I was pleasantly surprised.
