I have the opportunity to get one. Both have 105 components, the real difference lies in the year and carbon vs aluminum. What would you take?
Madone is a 4.5

I own a 2010 trek 2.1. I ride over 200 miles a week and have never ridden a carbon bike. I upgraded the seatpost and the seat (specialized romin pro) which has carbon seat stays to hopefully help with rough roads (I live in Maine). These haven't come in the mail yet. I would get the madone for the lightness factor and for lesser vibration. Just make sure they fit good once you get it. It also depends if your planning on racing. The aluminum would last longer for just a training bike. If I had money I would definitely have a carbon race bike and possibly keep mine for training; or wet, muddy days.
