Cannondale is $250 more expensive than Bianchi.

Per the link and specs you have provided, I would choose the Bianchi because:

1. better components
   
2. newer
   
3. less expensive

FWIW. Between the two, if 'I' were choosing, I would get the BIANCHI ... and then, I would remove-and-sell the 105 shifters and replace them with a pair of 10-speed, non-QS Campagnolo shifters ...

I would either use the hubbub.com alternate rear derailleur cable anchoring to achieve 9-speed Shimano indexing with the 9-speed Shimano rear derailleur OR I would swap a 10-speed Shimano rear derailleur for the 9-speed rear derailleur.

BTW. The Giga-X BB is an odd-ball design that 'I' would try to avoid owning.
