I suppose that info would be helpful, huh?

I'm looking for a road bike. DH and I just checked out the Giant OCR 3W ($650) and the Trek 1.2 WSD ($750). I don't want to spend too much on my first bike because I don't know what kind of riding I'll be doing, how far, etc. I just want to get started!

Or do you think I would be better off with one or two levels above the basic model? What would you do in my shoes?
