I am in the exact same position but pricing is a little differnet. I can get the 2010 Allez Comp for $1200 and the 2011 Allez Comp for $1250. I rode both today and personally hated the Sram however it was just built and maybe a little out of tune.

I did also ride the 2011 Allez Elite fo $1050 and full tiagra which I thought was a great ride also. Just seeing if I should spend the extra $150.

The 2010 Comp is flat black and the 2011 Elite is red.

My first road bike also and not even sure I will like it but I have very high cholesterol and I am only 36 need to get myself back in shape.

The double tap was easy but it just seemed catchy like an old Schwinn 10 speed. I thought the Tiagra was smoother than the Sram. I may end up buying the 2010 Comp because I really like the 105. You should look at the 2011 elite also and see if you like Tiagra
