Good luck, that is a sweet bike. The ksyrium wheels are great. I'd like to upgrade to those eventually. I recently made a Carbon purchase but didn't spend nearly as much as you. I ended up with a Giant TCR C3. It's really my first road bike (i'm more of a mtn guy), so I don't have much to compare it to, but I haven't noticed much flex if any, even when out of the saddle uphill and I'm a big guy, ~200. IMHO, if your not racing that 15% difference between the 2 won't mean much.
Another question from a new but enthusiastic bicycle rider: For a road bike not used for carrying packs or cargo other than a rider, to be used for things like centuries on paved roads, what would be a reasonable bicycle weight? What's higher than reasonable, what's needlessly low, etc? Considering that this is not for racing, is the difference between two pounds and three pounds significant? What difference would that extra pound make for the rider?
