stolen bike on Friday =( my 15 month old Ruby expert 08...

what to get as replacement? 2 options - i want to get from a shop that has offered me very good replacement terms, ie. wholesale cost... so the choices are:

2010 ruby expert or cannondale synapse fem 3...?

i started riding on an alloy synapse and loved it... never toooo excited about the ride on the ruby... maybe the carbon damped the fun out of the ride???

anyway - looking for comments as to which of above 2 bikes you would replace with if it were you... and why??

thanks!
