I guess it all depends on the type of riding one does and the nature of the road surfaces you regularly ride on. I find the lightness and responsiveness of my Trek Madone makes riding a joy. The new carbon Treks are pretty darn comfortable. On the other hand, there is a route that I want to do this summer which combines paved and dirt roads and I am thinking of reviving my mid-'80s Miyata 1000 touring bike for it. The Miyata has a similar geometry to your new bike.
