The CF 7.0 is a great value and checks most of the boxes. If I didn't already have my Giant Fastroad CoMax 1 set up with new wheels, and R8000 drivetrain I would have jumped on them. Just can't see going backwards on a new bike. With separate stem and handlebar you can work with the reach. However, I don't think you can add spacers if the fork is cut as in the 9.0. There appears to also be quite a bit of adjustment to the saddle. The nice thing about the Canyon is you have 30 days to try it out. If it doesn't work for send it back and get the refund. Just be sure to keep all the packing. Good luck on your search.
BTW: where else can you buy a bike spec'ed like the 7.0 (carbon frame & fork, full 7000 105 drive train, etc) for only $1499 (no sales tax if out of CA) and have it weight only 17.8 lbs in medium?
