I own a 2019 Checkpoint SL5. I haven't ridden the Giant, but I can give a positive recommendation for the SL5. Ride and handling are excellent. I would note that I have the Schwalbe G-One 35mm tires, as opposed to the 40mm Bontrager GR1 tires the 2021 model now has. Plus, you will have the 30/46 crank instead of 34/50.
