One of the reasons I went with a Soma Fog Cutter a few years ago was that the geo (or at least the handling-related numbers) was more "road-like" than most other bikes that could clear big tires at the time I was looking. If the Domain is similar, then it would definitely interest me... except I don't think the stack and reach numbers work well for me personally (I have odd fit needs).
I have no illusions of my bike receiving anything but snickering scorn from roadies, but that's fine by me. I love hearing them whine about the conditions of roads that I don't even give a second thought to.
Yep - an interesting decision by Trek. Unless you need a lot of clearance for mud and stuff and you spend all your time on gravel, I struggle to see why you'd get the checkpoint over the Domane on 38mm tires. The new Domane looks cool too!
