the Fuji would have a notch better components IMO but it`s a close call either way really as 105 is roughly midway up the ladder for road components and Deore-SLX is also roughly midway up the ladder for MTB components.. I think you answered your question yourself when you said your leaning more towards the Fuji just cuz of the color... the components are too close to be a bother I would say.. buy the one you like the looks better.. or that fits better.. or whatever.. just be riding dangit! lol
