Any opinions on 2009 Jamis Xenith Comp or Giant Avail Advanced 2?

After thinking Specialized and Scott WSD were the only ones that would fit me (frantic thread below...), I branched out for kicks and giggles and really liked the Jamis and Giant. Both are carbon frame, and both are pretty well-priced right now. Does anyone have an opinion on either of these bikes? I'll be honest and say I had never heard of Jamis before, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good bike. I thought it handled really well.

Thanks!

Always go with what fits and what makes you smile. I know lots of people in love with their Jamis road bikes, Jamis has really stepped up in the last 4-5 years. My brother has a Giant and it was a great deal for the price. Both are great brands.
