After spending an embarrassing amount of time researching bikes, I have narrowed down the bikes I want to these two:
1. [Endurace CF SLX 8 AXS Aero](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/road-bikes/endurance-bikes/endurace/cf-slx/endurace-cf-slx-8-axs-aero/2741.html)
2. [Ultimate CF SLX 8 Di2](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/road-bikes/race-bikes/ultimate/cf-slx/ultimate-cf-slx-8-di2/3320.html)
The factors that matter the most to me are:
1. Aesthetics / Looks
2. Value for money
3. Future proof (ie. not needing any more upgrades for a very long time or feeling like I’m missing out on newer tech in the future)
4. Ride firmness and control when taking curves and going fast and is easier to climb steep hills with without over exerting myself
I would really appreciate advice / input from this community on how you would rank these two bikes on these factors and which of these bikes you would pick. Thank you!

points 1-3 are very similar for both bikes.
point 4 makes the ultimate more appealing, the ride comfort is also very similar.
plus points: ultegra di2 groupset, which i’d prefer over sram. deeper wheels as well, if you care about that.
