The guy at the LBS which sells the Vita told me the Vita is the WSD version of the Sirrus.
The other thing to consider is that the LBS that sells TREK is not that good at customer service. The LBS that sells Specialized is great with customer service. In fact, even though years ago I bought my old Trek 730 at the same LBS that currently has the Trek 7.6 FX I test drove, I have ALWAYS taken my old Trek to the LBS that sells the Specialized for service. They are just awesome people to deal with, and I buy all my accessories from there too.
I'm just not that familiar with the Specialized brand, and I know TREK's are good.

Specialized bike are just as good as Trek and Giant, etc but not quite as big and well known. I love Specialized bikes!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Nicole, are you Speshal-ized?

Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

I guess so! I'd love a Tarmac as my next race bike.

A good friend of mine, who wanted to upgrade much in the way you do bought a Vita about a year ago. She loves it. I have been on quite a few rides with her and she has never had any issues with the components, etc.
And, she made it up Oak Hill on her Vita, despite the fact she was cursing me the whole way...
