I very much question Giants published weight for the Venge.

I would personally buy the BMC - purely from an aesthetics and brand impressive-ness standpoint.
In Australia at least, Giants are very common and appear to have the worst re-sale value, however my personal recent experience with their warranty has been positive overall so that's one plus.
When it comes to scientific or statistical claims on aero bikes, I personally wouldn't put much weighting on that in your decision making process - there is too much variability between testing methods and standards and the data is often skewed at best.
