I am getting back into cycling after 10 years looking for my first road bike. I found good deals on Merida scultura endurance 6000 or scultura 6000.
Beacuse of the relaxed geometry I was almost set on the endurance, But I found a used non endurance scultra cheaper enough that I am considering it. But I cannot really read geometry specs to understand the level of difference.
using this guide https://www.sierra.com/lp2/bike-fit-guide/, I measured 6'1" height, 35" inseam, 24.4" arm length
both bikes are in L size

Ive been doing bike fittings since 2004. The huge difference is the headtube length, the regular geometry is almost 4.5cm shorter. Im not sure how accurate your 34” inseam measurement is but if you are with long legs, you need more headtube height. The top tube length is not significantly different, a stem change can solve that. Knowing if you have long arms would help. So many other measurements to consider. Overall the endurance fit seems like a much better fit based on the info I’ve got.
