Both have their merits, I'd be more inclined to go with the Cannondale if you get a good carbon post, bb86 on Giant's is annoying as you're essentially limited to GXP and Shimano cranks. If you don't mind that though, the Defy will probably ride better (I've ridden an advanced, not a composite, and a Caad10) and probably be lighter - but defy composite frame weights are hard to find
noBlakes-
Ride better? Fighting talk.
As with everything- this is subjective, in the extreme.
I hated the defy I hired in Mallorca, it was just so dull to ride.
So, now you have two contradicting viewpoints. ;) -

Not really an annoyance TBH, especially with Shimano chainset.
