Well, guys, I actually decided on a slightly different bike: I went with a 10 speed 5.2 in the black pearl carbon color. The 10 speed 5.2 isn’t even on trek's website yet.

Now I can’t wait for it to get here!

I decided on the 5.2 non SL for a couple of reasons. The differences between the two were largely just weight. I usually pack a pair of water bottles, so I figure the weight difference really isn’t THAT big of a deal. If the SL had better wheels.... then it would have been harder. Anywho, I thought both the SL paint jobs were ugly, and the sleek black of the 5.2 really did it for me. Decision made. I won't be coming back to this thread, as there will undoubtedly be a dozen people telling me I made a bad decision. I don't care, I'll be out loving my bike.

Thanks for the help though!
