New Endurance bike (Budget up to 5.9K USD)

Good Evening,
Im currently riding a Specialized Allez Sport from 2022. I ride 75 miles on weekends and push for 30 mile rides during the week.

Im targeting the 100+ mile rides in the fall and feel like ive outgrown the bike a bit.

Im 34, 185 pounds, 167 cm.

Looking at 3 bikes (open to hearing feedback). I know bike fit is everything but i wanted to see what your thoughts were on bang for buck and some of the more relaxed geometry.

Cannondale Synpase Carbon 3-Rival AXS 2x groupset, DT Swiss 1800 wheels. I like the bike, not sure about the groupset though, wheels could be better ($4999)

New Canyon EnduraceCF SLX 8-Ultegra Di2 groupset, DT Swiss 1600 ercut wheels. New bike from Canyon, worried about support as i live in Mexico. Colors bore me ($5,999)

Specialized Roubaix SL8 Expert-Ultegra Di2 groupset,Roval C38 wheels. No real concerns here. ($5999)

**Bonus Bike**

Cannondale Syapnse Carbon 2-Ultegra Di2 groupset, DT Swiss ERC Log 45 wheels. Is the extra 1500 worth it vs the Cannondale Carbon 3 or 500 more than the Canyon/Specialized?

Open to feedback or any other bikes i may be missing.

AMA- I am 34 and have Brugada Syndrome (Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome)

18 months ago I got into a bicycle crash near my house and was taken to the hospital for a concussion. During standard checks they decided to do an EKG and by freak accident found that I have Brugada syndrome. The doctors were perplexed and shocked to see the pattern. It is estimated that only .02% of people in the world have it, so i was a first "real life case" for many of the staff. Everywhere I go there seems to be this same reaction as its only ever "talked about" but not seen.

I have never shown any symptoms of Brugada (fainting, dizziness, heart attack itself). Brugada syndrome is an extremely rare arrhythmia that is mostly found in males and south east asian descent and for the most part is passed on by genetics. I am not south east asian and none of my family has it shown Bruagada patterns on there EKG.

Brugada syndrome is quite dangerous as its an arrhythmia that affects the sodium and calcium channels of my hearts electrical system. Simple things like Allegra-D , a heavy meal before bed, or certain anti depressants can put me into cardiac arrest.

The only symptom is the heart attack its self and most events happen at night for people between the ages of 30 and 50.
