Welcome to TE!
I am no expert on bike components either but I will say that chances are the Symmetry is a better bike even if it is older. Think about it, a new 2008 one sells for $1300 (on sale). A new 2008 Felt Newest sells for about $700. As long as Terry or even the owner of that bike hasn't made any significant changes to components like downgrading then that Symmetry is a better bike than the Newest will ever be in terms of components.
When searching for a new bike I had my eye on a 2008 Bianchi Volpe at about $900. Luckily for me, the LBS had a 2006 Kona Sutra in my size that was $750 down from $1500. You bet I bought that Sutra!
Any of the other TE ladies, please correct me if I'm wrong.
