Thanks!

I concluded the quality of the frame work is better on the Cannondale Road Warrior line (not fair to compare to RW 1000); while I liked the Sirrus paint color and brakes, and would have gone for it if most of my riding was to be commuting/street riding.
Geometry was probably my major deciding factor, as I likely would not have been able to spend a few hours on the Sirrus Sport. But that's my body. I suspect a longer ride would give you a good feel as to how your body fits the rather different frames. I came from a hybrid frame design, so I was open to Sirrus.
"Performance" probably depends on how you plan to use it.
