Help me decide: Endurace SLX AR46 vs. Endurace CF 7 (value proposition, worth it?)
Deciding between Endurace SLX AR46 vs. Endurace CF 7
Endurace CF SLX 7 Di2 AR46 | CANYON US
It looks like its the same geometry, both 105 Di2,
SLX slightly lighter,
SLX includes powermeter (i'd like to ride w/ power)
SLX includes Reynolds AR46 (should i be worried about the hubs?)
CF includes DT Swiss ERC wheelset
I do think I would eventually get a powermeter and upgrade my wheels, so i'm thinking its worth paying the extra $800.
Anything i'm missing? Should I be looking for value elsewhere?
I am comfortable with both of these prices but more interested in making sure I am getting good value in purchase. Thanks!

The wheels on the CF 7 aren’t junk. I don’t know what would cause you to upgrade them, other than to get something deeper for the marginal aerodynamic improvement.
With that being said, for $800, I’d probably buy the SLX. It should be a nicer bike overall. Single-sided crank power meters aren’t my favorite, but that’s something you can fix later on if you find that power data is useful to you.
