If they both fit you equally well I would get the Canyon. In fact I did exactly that when I was considering the previous gen versions of both these bikes. I just thought the Canyon was better value for money and my LBS sucks anyway!
Edit: The integrated lights on the Synapse would be a deal breaker for me.
