I have Cannondale history in my mtb days and also happy with 105's so these seem like a serious contender? Might be able to nab some pedals off the shop too.
Seriously tricky price point, especially at a time when there are plenty of deals to be had.
Stay focused on the sort of frameset you want in terms of fit and ride. Its not an ideal way of picking a bike but it does simplify things.
If thats a local store. Test ride them, and then buy the one that you like most.
Fretting over a better component here or there, or a 100 notes saved or extra, is irrelavent if you considering spending over 260* hours in the saddle over a year.
