The 10 has a lower front and nicer tapered fork.
15mm lower methinks. Tapered fork is nice and light, ya. But you know...just ride em, see if you notice.
My namesake reference was to the original top of the line CAAD8 from way back, BTW, of which the current CAAD8 shares very little, other than being made out of alu. It's a completely different design.
Howard-
I have ridden a USofA Caad8 in almost identical spec (Force and nice bits) as the Caad10. Both were lively. The 10 felt stiffer (perhaps the front end?).
I've also ridden the current Caad8 but unfortunately with Sora and basic wheels so difficult to compare.
It's all about the fit. And the provenance. And the paint ;-)

I'm sure I read the caad8 and 10 rear triangle are the same.
