Doesn't really matter since all sizes of the Fuji Cross 3.0 are out of stock and there are only 2 small sizes of the Fuji Cross 2.0 left in stock

Just my opinion, but I would opt for the 11-speed 105 over the 10-speed Apex. I much prefer the Shimano shifting.

I agree.

To be fair, the OP's question wasn't "do they have them in stock?" but rather "how these 2 very similar models compare?"

The 11 speed Shimano vs 10 speed SRAM Apex conundrum. I have 2 different bikes with these two drivetrains. I like both but for different reasons. Normally I would say go with the Shimano, but I cannot stop thinking about how damn ugly that bike is. The SRAM equipped bike in my eyes at least, is much nicer looking. I don't think that for the price you can wrong with either.

Not familiar with SRAM components here. I would definitely consider cost of replacement/upgrades parts. And even then it's almost a wash... the components are interchangeable from what I understand. Just a difference between 10 and 11 speed. And I'd go 11.

I see two major differences:
1. shifters - 105 11-speed would tend to favor the 2.0 in my mind; but it's a personal call
2. brakes - TRP Spyre favors the 2.0
