I have worked hard and want to treat myself to a new bike! Trying to decide on a powerful, fast road bike I can use on 70.3 and potentially a full distance in the future.

So far, my top options are a Factor Monza or a Specialized SL8. I would welcome all suggestions! I am looking for comfort and a slick-looking bike! Thank you.

Edit: context. I live in the US and meant 8k USD.
