They’re VERY similar, if it were me, it’d come down to color choice. I like the available colors of the Allez more than the Domane. You can probably find a carbon Domane with hydraulic brakes used at this price point without too much fuss, so I’d take the used route. Replacing the mech disc brakes with mechanically actuated hydraulic brakes would be project number 1 for me. I had the mech brakes on my Diverge E5 and they were hot garbage.

Buy used. [This Diamondback Haanjo on buycycle](https://buycycle.com/en-us/bike/haanjo-7c-carbon-2019-27762) costs the same but you get Ultegra, hydro brakes, and a carbon frame. On top of that, it’s a gravel bike, which means that you can swap the wheels for road wheels or tires down the line.
