Canyon: Aeroad CF vs Ultimate CF SLX

[alexluhrs]

Stuck between the new Canyon AEROAD CF SLX 7.0 2015 or the ULTIMATE CF SLX 8.0 2015

There is only £100 between them.

What is your experiences of the Ultimate CF SLX, is it as stiff, light, responsive and comfortable as everyone suggests?

Or is it worth risking the new Aeroad CF SLX, Canyon say its stiffer than the old model but is marginally heavier than the Ultimate?

New race bike so will be used for Crits and lumpy road races but not mountain passes.

Basically the age old question of Weight or Aero?

Many of us here hate you for evening being able to make that choice! #unavailability

Having said so - the Aeroad just looks so clean and well designed that it would be hard not to want that. The weight penalty seems pretty small for an aero frame. Nothing a set of 40mm tubulars wouldn't fix anyhow.
