What’s your budget and what will you be using the bike for?
You’ll probably find the weight of the Specialized is in the finishing kit and wheels rather than the frame. That’s all stuff that can be upgraded.
I don’t know a huge amount about Cube but I’m sure they’re good bikes.
I’d buy whichever will make you want to ride most and make sure it fits well.

I'm looking at a few different options after having to return a second-hand SuperSix Evo that had some issues. Maybe a Tarmac, the 9r entry-level model: Seems quite heavy, but as mentioned on the previous page it's not always about weight. I'm a 58 size in Cannondale which is right in the middle of the 56 and 58 Specialized sizing. Will probably go down to a 56 and then use 20mm or so of spacers (ie the standard cone headset cap) and a 130mm stem.
