And "color" was important to me, too. I had the bike shop change my handlebar tape from white to black to 'toughen it up' a bit!
I think the Avail 3's the women-specific Defy 3. The Dash seems to be the women-specific Rapid. But, what do I know? *shrugs*

I like the green, much nicer than the weird yellow on the 3. (I hate yellow. But that's just me.) My LBS' website doesn't have the Dash 1 up yet. Congrats on the new bike, and have fun!
