Oh, I agree: if I were making your specific choice today I too would go with the Trek. And I say that as the owner of a 2019 Sirrus Comp Carbon (now the Sirrus X 5.0), which itself was a bit overpriced at the time imo. But I 'wanted' it at the time!
I like Specialized's products, but not at 'any price'!
