Hey everyone!

Well, I've got a decision to make and I'd love to hear some input. There are two bikes before me for nearly the same price. They both fit like a dream and have the same frame geometry. Here are the differences...

The Pilot 5.2 is brand new but 2 years old. It's retailing at $1999 at the store which is $1000 less than it would be were it... 2005. It's full Ultegra, OCLV Carbon frame, it's PINK and tax free.

The Pilot 5.0 is brand new this year... it's a 2007 model. The parts are a mix of Ultegra and 105. With tax if I buy from my awesome local bike shop it will be ~$2270.

Now my questions are... has technology made it far enough to make the 2007 lower-end model worth the extra money?

Has Trek drastically improved their carbon frames in the last few years?

If you've got any tips, advice or info that you can lend me before I make my final decision, I'd really appreciate it
