2014 Trek Madone 4.3 with Shimano 105 components vs 2013 Domane 4.5 with Ultegra components
Price is a wash on both. Just want honest opinions of people with experience on this bike. I’m leaning towards the Domane as it sound like it would be more comfortable as a new rider.
Thanks in advance.

I think you’re right, the Domane would probably suit you more as a new rider. Endurance bikes are great starters both for their comfort and their versatility.
Ride both and see how the position feels, but if they’re both in good shape I’d go for the Domane. A few years in that saddle will give you a much better idea of which direction you’d like to go for your next bike.
Also, if it’s your first bike, look over the frames carefully for any damage that isn’t purely superficial. Any cracks or cavities in the carbon should be a deal breaker. If you’re unsure, you can ask the guy to meet you at a LBS to have it looked over
